In early March I ordered a Bullberry/Pacnor in 45-70 government for my Encore. It finally arrived so it was sent to Hankins Custom for his ignition system and combination die set. The barrel has a 1:22 twist rate.
I'm a newbie in the smokeless world. I need help with a both sabot and a sabotless loads. Can those with Encore Bullberry experience share some powder/bullet combinations that will help me get started down the right path? I intend to hunt deer with this rifle where shots to 250 yards can be expected.
Thanks in advance for help with this project.

58grs of h4198 has been real good in a lot of encore conversions with a 200sst or 195 Barnes in a smooth blue sabot. Goodluck with your new toy

I am shooting 5gr clays / 55gr I4198. Using 250be and 275mh sabotless and shooting some good groups at 100 yards out of my apex conversion. Velocity around 2650 and 2550 respectively.
