I just purchased a TC Encore Pro Hunter. It is a very nice gun and I have heard nothing but good about it. I am very excited to start into muzzleloader shooting. Though I bought it mainly for Deer Hunting, I see myself shooting it regularly for fun. I have been a shooter for a while and plan to approach muzzleloader shooting with the same meticulousness that I do with rifle shooting. My plans are to get a Leupold VX-2 3-9x40 with LR duplex reticle or a Vortex Viper 3-9x40 with dead hold reticle. I have decided to shoot loose powder Pyrodex, I will have to mess with the charge but I am thinking around 100 grains. I think I will try out Hornady 250 SST, Shock Wave and Barnes sabot rounds to start. I can’t wait to get her out there and see what kind of groups it can do at 100. Also I can’t wait to try and stretch it out to 200, maybe further.
