Hornady XTP and 44 Magnum Long Range Test (Thompson Center Encore) 

As you can see I am easily entertained! Thanks for watching.

It's been 100% effective for me.

Thanks Harold!

I bet it does!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks. I checked out some of your video. Will watch more as time permits.

A ballista lob! I'd try 400 if I had room. Thanks for watching.

@@kennethdellinger2037 Interesting story.. I used to subscribe to Guns and Ammo magazine that was pretty much started by Elmer Keith, and absolute LEGEND. He took delivery of the first .357 and .41 magnum revolvers to review. He was a real "Mans man" he considered any caliber that didn't start with a "4" a woman's caliber. I remember reading an article about the first .41 mag. He loved it, it was fast and flat. His number one complaint was that when in his favorite firing position, leaning against a tree with his arms resting on his knees, The holes were too hard to see on a paper plate at 700 yards.. Dead serious. What a character.

@@PaulM-d7k Elmer Keith fan here as well.

@PaulM-d7k Big Elmer Kieth fan myself, reading his articles got me into handgun hunting.

Encore addict here. I have the 50 cal Endeavor Prohunter and the standard Encore in the video. My .223 barrel shoots great after I recrowned it. I have 06 and .270 barrels that I plan to get serious with soon. They're a little picky about loads and how I shoot them. When I am satisfied with them I'll post something. The 44 mag is my favorite barrel though. My go to woods gun. Just got into the Contenders also. Gotta stop finding deals. In love! I agree they are pricey. You can find deals sometimes though on Graybeard Outdoors.

@@kennethdellinger2037 Mine is the Endeavor also. Have you got the trigger spring kit from E A Brown? Made a world of difference and pretty easy to install with my limited gunsmithing experience. To it down to 3.5lbs.

@@dhooter I didn't buy the spring kit but modified the original. Took a little experimentation but I'm at a 1 pound pull. A little light for a bolt action hunting rifle but safe in a hammer gun I think. I also polished the parts per M Bellm's instructions. As good a trigger as I've every shot .

That's a good idea. Digging in the sand is a bit messy.

I thought it was cool as well. Thanks for watching.

Indeed they have. Not to be underestimated.

Love!
