The Most Powerful & Versatile .50 Cal. Muzzleloader in the World

Shown here is the .50 Cal. Encore 209x.50 Magnum, with full REALTREE™ Hardwoods HD Camo and Composite Stock No. 3929

Magnum Capabilities

The Encore® 209x.50 Magnum, with a 26" barrel of 4140 rifle grade steel is designed to handle Magnum charges of up to 150 grains of black powder or Pyrodex® equivalent (or 3 Pyrodex® Pellets). Using T/C’s Mag Express Sabots and a 250 grain Shockwave® bullet with 3 Pyrodex Pellets, it produces a muzzle velocity of 2203 ft./second and it is lethal out to 200 yards!

Removable Universal Breech Plug

The Encore® 209x.50 Magnum features a stainless steel universal breech plug which is easy to remove. This universal breech plug allows for quick, reliable ignition with both loose powder or Pyrodex® Pellets. Its special shoulder sealing design prevents fouling from making its way into the threads and because there is no striker, all fouling is contained in the barrel.

Cleaning is Easy

Cleaning the Encore 209x.50 Magnum is easy. You merely remove the barrel, remove the universal breech plug and clean from either the muzzle or the breech end.

Unequalled Versatility

The Encore® 209x.50 Magnum features an interchangeable barrel. The barrel can be removed in seconds, and there is an array of centerfire barrels available for almost any application; from .22 Hornet for varmints and up to 405 Win Mag for larger game. There are also 20 gauge and 12 gauge barrels available for upland birds, waterfowl, turkey and deer.
