If it is a .50 Cal you might try the .501” 250 Gr Thor Bal Tip made by Barnes.
110 Grs by volume
CCI 209M primer
No Wad required.
The Hornady 300 Gr FPB also shoots decent with the same powder charge. I ran those through a Lee .501” sizing die to fit the Encore, IIRC they come in at .506”

For a .50 cal barrel you might try the Thor bullets. If you are shooting a .45 cal the Hornady 250 or 300 gr SST/Shockwave, the Parker Ballistic Extreme line also shoots very well. Just like with a centerfire rifle, match the bullet to the game you are after.
