Anyone have any experience with an Encore 209*50,heard anything about the new 209*45?

I have shot one a few times. Very impressed, very accurate, about 1.5 moa with open sights.

i think its the only mzl they use on the monster bucks video.they make some good shots with it.

I like mine a lot. I don't load the big "Magnum" charges that some do. I shoot 240gr xtp on top of 90gr goex FFg. It's right at 1600fps and shoots MOA groups.

frasier that is the best muzzleloader although a little pricey for the one week of black powder season in north carolina it is accurate, reliable and easier to clean than any of the rest if you buy one, shoot the new kleen-shot powder pellets in it makes an easy job easier, then buy you a couple other rifle barrels to go with it!

I've been hunting with the 209x50 for the last three seasons. I've killed three mulie bucks with it at ranges between 100 and 200 yards. As far as I'm concerned this is the best muzzleloader out there. It's accurate, weatherproof and hits hard. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the new .45 caliber, but I don't see myself switching to get a few more yards.

I think it is good muzzle loader but I had to remove the qla to get conical bullets to shoot out of mine.
