Hey Guys I'm a new member and I was looking for info, pros or cons, on the new Encore Endeavor. I'm was hoping to see if there were any real advantages over it and the Pro Hunter. I know it has the speed breech XT and wondered if anyone saw any potential problems with the new XT breech plug? Any thoughts that might help someone with little knowledge about T/C in purchasing a new gun.[?]

  The Endeavor is about as good as it gets for Muzzleloading. It has the Speed breach XT like the Triumps, which facilitates removing the breech plug without tools, or at the verymost a quarter. They are strong and accurate rifles, and very capable out to 200 yards. I have an original Encore in 45 cal, and have taken deer out to 216 yards with a 223 grain Powerbelt Platinum.
  
  The ease of cleaning almost rivals the old sidelocks where you yank one or two tapered wedges that hold in the barrel, and take off the nipple, then use a bucket of hot, soapy water. Using the Triple 7 pellets or the new White Hots, will make you mess, and corrosion free.
  
  I do reccommend Powerbelts over a conventional sabot, to keep the plastic fowling to a minimum. Most likely a 245 grain AT or 270 Platinum, and 2 50 grain pellets is all you will need.
  
  Try posting thin in the black powder muzzle loader forum.
  
  Best
