[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 117494, member: 8843"] In general the Encores are a little differant to shoot accuratly than a bolt gun and like all factory guns they can be tuned to shoot better. both Encore barrels I've owned in 22-250 (15"and26") had a 1-12 twist rate and they both shot 55gr V-max bullets the best , I'm guessing that the prohunter would have the same twist or maybe even faster like 1-10. (I would think) I have owned 1 25-06 encore barrel (26"HB) and delt with 4 others and they all had a 1-10 twist and shot 100-115gr Nosler Balistic tips very well , I'm guessing that they would keep the same twist rate and that would suit the 110 accubond great. As for the Encores kickingn harder than other guns their are two reasons 1) they are generaly lighter 2) the stock is strait , no cast off and has zero pitch so the gun recoils strait back giving a slightly higher precieved recoil. the R3 recoil pad a is a good one and will help alot in taming the kick but if you were to buy an after market stock from say Bull Berry then you can have is made with a little pitch and cast off witch will help with the recoil. In short the 25-06 sould give you some great velocities with the 28" tube. I have a friend that plans to buy the 25-06 and shoot a set of the Tubbs final finish fire lapping kits through it then rechamber it to 257Wby with no freebore. . [/QUOTE]
