Encores 50 x 209

[double00]

I know it has a fast twist rate but is there any thing I can cast to shoot accurate. It shoots powerbelts and Shockwave great , but I am tired of paying 18 dollars for 15 bullets.
Thanks

I’d try casting .44 or .45 Keith style bullets and buying the appropriate sabots

Bingo!!!!

Sabots are cheap, maybe 7-10 cents each and cast 44s or 45s almost nothing if you already have the molds. I have .40 and .44 sabots for my Encores and shoot a variety of cast boolits.

That's is probably what I will do. 100 of them will last a long time. And l do have the mold. I just trying to avoid supply during up also. Two hundred would last the rest of my life.

I'm in the process of doing the same here I bought the lee 45 300gn FP mold I just did a 50 yard test with traditions tracker 209 and had a 3 shot clover leaf. Best that rifle has ever done have tried lee 44cal 310 cast in it and my cva optima and was never happy with the accuracy.
And if you ever decide to go back to factory bullets it was cheaper to buy the sabot and bullets in bulk. Last year when there was still reloading stuff available a box of horbady 45 cal non mag xtp 300 grain ran around 20- 25 bucks for 50 and harvester crush rib sabot around 10 buck also for 50. That combo in my optima with BH209 shot right around 1 1.5 inches at 112 yards
