[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 135598, member: 10"] I know TC chambered the Encore in magnum chamberings but from my experience, it is my opinion that you will have much fewer headaches in the long run if you had a barrel chambered in something like a 6.5-06 AI instead of a 264 Win Mag. Depending on what barrel length you use, the 6.5-06 AI will come darn close to matching the 264 in barrels in the 24" class. Even with the standard magnum cases, frame stretching can be an issue depending on how hard you drive your Encore and how tight the frame is fitted. The '06 case size is much easier for the Encore to handle and as such you will get much less case stretching as a result. Just my opinion from what I have witness with the Encore.
