The flash channel on the Encore plugs is 1/8" and needs to be cleaned with a drill bit. If you have the long plug its a super good idea to use a mag primer like Fed209A or CCI209M. http://www.blackhorn209.com/specs/breech-plug-cleaning/

Does your Encore plug look like this?

I've had Ball-ets bloop downrange trailing smoke like bottle rockets. Very pretty, according to my wife!


Well the first mistake would be using ball-ets. They are very light and short for caliber. BH209 works just fine with lead conicals if they have enough mass/length and you use a veggie wad. Ive shot tons of them from 350gr upto 490gr without a fizzle. There are other factors too like how well the breach plug works with BH209 and sizing the conical a couple 1000ths over land size.
