Seems easier to just drop in a couple of these......
I'd say it's your call on how ever you want to do it. Myself, I can have a blast with load developement, as I do with my rifle. I had messed with my Encore until I came up w/a very soft an accurate load. Win. primmer, 85gr. Pyr. Select, Harvester green ribbed sabot stuffed w/a 240gr. XTP. Running at 1,600+ FPS. Shoots flat enough to whack a 1 gal. water jug at 200 yd. It's all I need for my deer hunting. Took a doe at 140 yd. bang-flop. I steer away from the 20 shot vanity packs. Buying bulk will keep you into some cheap paper punching.
