Handy looking carbine. What kind of velocity do you get from it with full power loads.

Nice.I love the .308,it is my favorite rifle cartridge. I have wanted a 15" Encore pistol barrel for some time. Maybe I will buy one before the end of the year.
What is your load for the carbine?

[LUCKYDAWG13]

the load was 43.5gr of 4895 under a 150gr bullet
velocity 2350 or so i really don't have a load
worked up for it yet thats just what i used to
sight the scope in with

I have had good luck with 4895,Rel 15,and Norma 202.Those have probably given me the best accuracy in the rifles that I have.

LuckyDawg13 how does that rifle balance in the hand carry wise? I've got an encore with 28" pro hunter bbl. so it's fairly heavy, but balances so well it carries easily all day. That's a cool looking rig you have there.

Btw the look on son's face says he didn't think that group was an accident. good shootin!

it balances and swings nice the little 308 is a joy to shoot.
