shot my encore today with my new omega scope. started at 50 yards to get on paper and grouped up, then moved back to 100 and only shot it three times. if i had more time i would have moved on back to play with the BDC reticle to see how well it really works, but that will come on another day.  |

im using 159 grains of triple 7 and a 250 grain hornady sst That's a pretty hefty load!! I use 90 grains (Volume) of Triple 7 loose powder + 250 grain .452" Hornady XTP bullet. I found this is the most accurate & consistant load for my T/C Black Diamond .50 caliber. |

I guess its clean and getting good reviews but $30 for 10 ounces....won't last but a couple range sessions. |

Sound rather pricy @ $30 for only 10 Oz. Your 90 grains (Volume) load with a 300 grainer should be accurate in your M/L. I really don't see any reason to use more than 90 grains of "loose" Triple "7". Just a waste of powder when using loads > than 90.0 Grains (volume). |

Just a waste of powder when using loads > than 90.0 Grains (volume). Dave, I agree, 90g is enough for me. It took a long time for me to finally understand that. When I started a few years back, I would go max load thinking you were supposed to. As I brought the powder volumn down my groups improved. By the way, as a rule of thumb, 100g of pellets = 90g of loose 777. |
