My First "Real" Rifle Reloads, I'm impressed with the Encore

I finally got out to shoot my first real loads. I had been out once before shooting a "forming" load of 9.0gr Unique with 100gr Hornady SPs. Now, I'm looking for that accuracy load. Unfortunately, I didn't get to the accuracy charge weights before I ran out of time. Still, I was impressed with the relative consistency over a variety of charge weights.

This picture is a target at 60yards, with 8 different charge weights. The cartridge is 7mm-08, the beginning charge was 43.5gr H380 and final charge was 45.8gr under Hornady 139gr SPs. The gun is a 15" Encore Pro Hunter, topped with a Burris 2-7x. I am using Norma brass and CCI BR primers.

Congrats and good shooting. I'm not surprised you're impressed with the Encore. I would be if you weren't.
