Interesting, using smokeless in the Encore. I have not heard of that. I use Blackhorn 209 in my Encore and it works very well and is easy to clean up after.

Re: Leaving for the range

Hobie,

If I'm not mistaken IHMSA rimfire targets are 1/2 size just like as NRA Hunter Pistol, Smallbore Levergun and Pistol cartridge levergun. The main difference is the thickness of the steel they are made of. I made a set out of cardboard.
