Encore barrel for BP

[218bee]

Hey guys, I now have an Encore Prohunter and I want to buy a 45/70 barrel for it to be used with cast boolits and Black only. I will put a scope on this rifle so I can finally see how well Black can shoot. I've put a lot of 45/70 and 50/70 loads downrange from my Trapdoors, but have a helluva time with their sights and my eyes.
So anyone try this with a Begara, Bullberry barrel or others?? I'm thinking 30" barrel rather than 28". I really enjoy the 50/70 but am starting with a 45/70 mainly cause of the variety of moulds I have in 45 vs 50.
So please tell me who makes a good barrel for the encore and if anyone has tried this I'd be curious how it worked for ya.

I have a MGM 45-70 18 in. encore barrel, it is very accurate. Just started using bp in this barrel, works great. JMHO
