I converted my Encore to large rifle primer ignition. The breech plug that came with it looked a little rough and I wanted to replace it. Didn't know anything about inlines. Primers are difficult at best to find right now. I needed the rifle to hunt Ohio. I have large rifle magnum primers on hand. So....thats what I did.


Didn't know it till after the fact but ended up loading near BHs max. 300gr Thor (full bore Barnes) bullet.

I've never had an ignition issue....and large rifle magnum primers are a lot weaker than 209s I believe. That was another reason the conversion plug made sense...no blow back and more consistent ignition they claim.


Killed a 130 something inch public land 10 point. Will keep using it...it worked. Lol.
