LOADS FOR A THOMPS0N CENTER 209/50 ENCORE PRO HUNT
I just bought a new Encore 209 / 50 Pro Hunter and retired my Lancaster pattern flintlock. I'm wondering if anyone has worked up a particularily accurate load for the Pro Hunter? I used to compete in the N-SSA with Civil War Muskets. I have several that will shoot one hole groups if the operator can see the sights. I retired from competition when my eyes could no longer see the sights well enough.
I plan to put a scope on the Pro Hunter to compensate for my aging eyes. I am sure the gun is capable of one hole groups if fed the proper diet. I'm just hoping to shorten the learning curve. Thanks in advance for your help.

Mine liked a 240gr Sabot over 3 50gr pellets. NOTE: this load, while accurate, kills on both ends 0 -
That is typical of accuracy I'm hearing about using pellets. I have heard loose powder may give better accuracy but have yet to see any details.
Thanks for your response.0 -
Sorry, I'm hearing that load gives about a 1.5" group, assuming your using a Shock Wave. 0
