[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 113345, member: 10"] Nomosendero, You can chamber the Encore for the 7mm STW just fine as well as all the other belted magnum cases on the standard magnum case(H&H based). But realize that if you push things to the upper pressure limits you will most likely see case head stretching. Depending on how your barrel to frame fit is, you will also probably see some case head stretching with any load. I found that to get good chambering with my Encore, the cases had to be FL size totally to bump the shoulder. This just added to the short case life. I even marked my cases so that I could chamber then the exact same every time in an attempt to keep every case orientated the exact same way for each firing to try to neck size only or partial FL size but that did not work. Came to the conclusion that for the sake of easy loading, the '06 case head is as large as I would ever own in an Encore handgun or rifle. You can chamber the belted magnums, just realize that you will probably see some case stretching and shortened case life. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
