My experience with two TC Encore 209x50 was that mine shot very poorly with bullets of less than 300 gr. I have generally used 100 gr. of Pyrodex with a 300 gr. bullet for deer, and 120-150gr. of Pyrodex with a 330 gr. bullet for elk. My best accuracy comes with less than 150 gr. of Pyrodex. You certainly don't need over 100 gr. of Pyrodex for deer loads.
