[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 870974, member: 2740"] Thanks J E Custom! I did some web research and it backs up what you said about stressing the action. Sounds like I would be better off to go ahead with a 25-06 AI barrel from MGM if I want to scratch the itch. I'm sure I wouldn't have any trouble selling the 257 Wby brass and dies. On the rechambering of a standard cartridge chamber to an AI chamber, I have always heard that it is best to set a barrel back slightly (which wouldn't be possible with an Encore barrel without major alteration) so that the standard case will have a slight crush fit in the shoulder to ensure that there won't be any stretching in the case head area during fire forming.
