Picked up a .50 cal stainless encore with a 4x12x40 BDC Nikon.
I have never shot a muzzleloader before. What are y’all shooting?
It is a 209 primer, but other than that I have no clue what to get to sight it in.

I use the pyrodex pellets in mine with a Hornady sst bullet it does it's job
I tried the white hot pellets and mine didn't like them accuracy wise
The encore is a great platform and can be a track driver or my center-fire barrels are

Hornady SST 250 grain bullets, 110 grains of Blackhorn 209, Winchester 209 shot shell primers.
That's the recipe I cook with in mine.
Deadly accurate.

I also shoot 110 g of the Blackhorn 209 with Winchester primers, but I shoot the Barnes bullets. Very accurate combo in my gun and will knock a big ole hole in a deer.

No to high jack but is the blackhorn a better choice of powder than the pellets? No Please hijack! I am ignorant of these weapons! All info appreciated! Lol In my opinion, there is not a better propellant on the market than Blackhorn 209.  Easy to use, multiple shots without barrel swabbing, not as highly corrosive as other propellants, and super easy to clean up. After I found Blackhorn 209 I have never looked back.

I like using the 3 pellets and the 250 T/C bullets in my Encore. Very accurate and easy to reload quickly.
83% of all statistics are made up.

You can’t beat BH209. For me, I shoot 120 grains BH209, with a 250 grain T/C Shockwave bullet. Very deadly combination in my Encore.
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

I like the BH 209 also but have found it to be subject to hangfire so what I do to combat this is open my flash hole up to .030 and add 20 grains of 777 to 90 grains of BH209 pushing a 300 grain Harvester Scorpion
I get very good accuracy with this combo
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself

it split like a banana and blew apart, its a wonder it didn't kill him, lucky for him he only lost a few fingers....
