[QUOTE="7ultra, post: 36777, member: 2152"] Check out Pac Nor. I don't know if they chamber encore barrels, but the do cut a 338-8mm Remington. My brother has one chambered in a 27inch barrel on a Model 70 action. The gun is pretty impressive. Performance is very close to that of the weatherby. He hunts with a load pushing a 250 gr Gameking at over 3100 fps. As for reloading costs, very comprable if not cheaper than the weatherby. Load data is interchangable, therefor powder needs are similar. Dies are comprable, and brass is actually cheaper (yes, I know depending on the make, but remington brass is cheaper than 340 Weatherby brass, heck the 340 weatherby is often fireformed off of the 8mm Rem case). Good luck with your decision, but teh 338-8mm is definately not one to shy away from. [/QUOTE]
