Just purchased a Thompson center encore in blue/camo 50 cal . Wondering if anyone shoots one of those and what works best as far as power/bullet . I topped it off with a Nikon 3x9 x40 scope . About a month ago picked up a Thompson Center omega 50 cal stainless/black stock with Nikon 3x9x50 mm . My boys plan on hunting quite a bit so I picked these two up . In my other t/c omega I have been shooting 100 grains pyrodex pellets with t/c 250 grain bullets which has been working fine Any suggestions on loads or what you guys shoot ?
 
For the Encore try two pyrodex pellets and 44 cal hornady XTP hollow points. You can thank me later. Nice score on those rifles by the way.

Blackhorn and Barnes is your best bet just find the load they like. Start with 100 gr powder and 250 bullet and see how they shoot.

My Encore likes 100grns BH209 with 290grn Barnes Spit-Fire T-EZ. Shot a nice buck at around 186yds. It also likes the 300grn ExpanderMZ. Remington shotgun primers.
