[QUOTE="pressman, post: 600438, member: 10980"] i have a pro hunter encore. and recently i found a load that shoots lights out. have picture to post but can not figure out how to do it, but would email if someone really wanted to see it. i shot the black horn 209 @ 100 yards with the barns spitfire in the 185 gr. 3 shot group measured .460 center to center and you will cover all of the holes completely with a quarter. What i did was took a 24" X 36" white board and placed 4 2" targets on it about 8" apart. first load was at 90gr shot 3 shots. next shot 3 shots @ 100gr then shot 3 shots @ 110 and then 3 shots @ 120gr. never swiped the barrel at all just loaded and shot from a bench with sand bags. and you could see the groups tighting up. and when i hit 120gr. it became a hole shooter. My next step is to cono these loads which i am sure will be at 2100 fps or greater. since i use to shoot 148 gr of triple 7 loose powder. and it shot well just did not like the fact of the grud ring that had to be removed after 3 shots or you would throw a bullet aleast by 5" one way or the other. The big thing with the 209 is clean your rifle at the end of the day when you are done. THIS is important especially the breech plug. other wise the next time you shoot you might get a hang fire. but i have never had one due to proper cleaning at the end of the day. [/QUOTE]
