[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 229185, member: 13"] First, I am not sure that you can run full pressure loads with the 460 & the 500 in the Contender/G-2. TC does not chamber for those 2 rounds. The Encore would handle them just fine though. For LR shooting I would prefer the Encore over the Contender, since you can use cartridges that have a 308 Win head size at rifle pressures safely. What distances are you considering when you mention a "long range paper puncher?" What I do not like about the the TC system is that you cannot free-float the barrel. Second, when pushing the capability of the action there is quite a bit more flex in the action barrel/relationship than there is compared to a bolt rig or falling block. [/QUOTE]
