Dave. To answer your post, just scan the various other posts that talk and show some of the parties loads/powders. You should be able to see some that interest you, for starters. Just drop most, if not all, of them some and work up in your rifle. Better to be safe than sorry. Bill K

Dave, I have had great success with the 39 gr. Sierra bullets and 10X powder in my encore. I don't have any experience with the v-max bullets though so I can't help you there.
