TC use to make factory barrels in 209X45. I would call the TC (and tell them you own one,) and see what they say about your loading data! I have found it before on their web sight... You just have to find it!! LOL I would call them up and ask them about it.
A MGM 209X45... that should be a sweeeeeet barrel!!!

Is this for fun or for hunting? VA doesn't allow BP pistols for hunting. Just curious.

I have the full length 209x45cal BP barrel for my G2 Contender Rifle. You can use 150 Grains BP. I would try loads starting at 100 grains and working up from there. I found that my rifle shot the most accurate groups at 140 grains. I can shoot 1 inch groups at 100yards with 180 grain Hornady XTP bullet backed by 140 grains pyrodex.

Mike,
Just curious...
Why .45 cal instead of 50 cal. (or more)?

I don't think the G2 will handle a bigger plateform

I don't think the G2 will handle a bigger plateform Oh yeah, it'll handle it. Bullberry has been makin' a 50 cal ML tube for years for the Contender. T/C just wants to sell more Encores.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

When I asked MGM if they make a B/P barrel for a G2 , They said they would make a 45 for it. I have read other sights that say it shoots better than the 50 I am not real up on Balistics , Coeficents , Ect. So I try to read as much as I can , AND ASK THE EXPERTS !! Which is why I am here .
I will Listen to all the Advise I CAN GET.

That sounds like it would really be a fun pistol!
Depending on what you are going to hunt with it, I will share this with you:
With muzzleloaders in Colorado you can hunt deer, pronghorn and bear with a minimum caliber of .40. For elk and moose you need a minimum of .50 caliber.
I only have experience with the Encore 209X50 ML Pistol (50 cal) and killed a bull elk with a 320 gr. Maxiball with one shot at about 70 yards.

I have a 15 inch 209X50 Encore. I took a whitetail doe with mine this year at about 100 yards and a wild hog at about 50 yards. I'm using a 45 cal. 300 grain XTP and 100 grains of Triple 7 powder.

I will be hunting Deer . Out to 100 yards Is the 50 realy better than the 45 for this? I know there is a lot more components av. for 50. I Like the G2 Pistol better in my hands.( I Have ARTHRITIST) I have a G2 30-30 pistol. And a Encore 209-50 / 30-06 Rifle. The rifle was Registerd by the Gunshop as a Pistol at time of PURCHASE. However I am told that since it left the Factory as a Rifle that is what it is.(By info on this sight)
