[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1234005, member: 90399"] Great looking rifle J E Custom! You probably don't use that one much for plinking though aey? Thanks. I have actually read through that one and a few others. Great info! I'm fairly limited on the brakes I can use for this one as the muzzle diameter is 45 caliber. Luckily there are at least a few choices around because of the popularity big bore AR15 cartridges. I posted about the rifle on a different thread, but it's my new Encore in 460S&W Magnum. Stats online say the rifle weighs 4.5lbs, but my scale shows it's barely over 4lbs. The lightweight combined with it's a closed breach (unlike the revolver the cartridge was designed for), the recoil is significant. Standing up shooting the rifle, it is OK for a number of shots. But I reload and want to try some different (heavier) bullets. Shooting this thing from a bench while doing load development is going to be unpleasant. It's common practice with the TC rifles in this cartridge to mount a scope using 3 or 4 scope rings instead of 2; if that tells you anything... :) [/QUOTE]
