I kept hearing these great stories about JES' rebores. That's why I did it. Maybe it was just my rifle or the metal. I sent in a Nosler M48 that started life as a .308 win to make it a .358 win.

I had a barrel rebored by JES. Maybe my standards are different than some, but I would never do it again. I wasn’t expecting perfect, but the bore was really really rough. The finish on my barrel was scrapped off where a wrench or vise slipped. I started cutting it down myself trying to cut off...

I have a love hate relationship with Encores because of brass stretching issues. I won’t buy another barrel for a bottle necked rifle cartridge. I always have short brass life because of stretching. I don’t have those issues in bolt rifles.
