So there was thread up with this topic and I said I would try it in my Encore. Choose the Encore because it is would be easier to clean than the revolvers.
I loaded a GC WFN cast from #2 alloy weight of 332 grains. I used Swiss FFG weighed charge of 40.3 grains by weight which was slightly compressed. I used a Mag Large Pistol primer. The barrel length on my Encore barrel is 10.0" OAL.
The chronographs was set @ 5 yards from the muzzle.
5 shots at 40 yards just under 2". This was more the shooter than the load I was in hurry as I had some other commitments.
Velocity for 5 shots was:
927
924
928
927
925
It was really kind fun with blast of smoke and I am really liking what I see with this. So further testing is on order. The recoil was like shooting a 44 special.
I use Ballistol with a copper pot scrubber on a nylon brush to clean the barrel interior, the gun cleaned up easy and quickly.
Glad I tried it if it shoots out to 75 yards with accuracy and I can get to 1000 FPS by compressing the charge some I will definitely use this for deer hunting this fall it was just allot of fun.
