I have the encore 7mm08 pistol barrels in 12" and 15". I can group the 15" barrel better than the 12" barrel using factory Hornady 139g sst. Both are fire dragons after dark.
But I'm sure I can tighten up the grouping on the 12" barrel with a handload. I reload, but I've just not really cared about developing a load for it. Mainly because I use the 7-08 encore rifle and the 308 in the pistol.
