[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 179206, member: 10"] As already mentioned, to correctly rechamber an existing barrel to an AI chambering, the barrel needs to be set back slightly because the shoulder.neck junction on an AI chambering is actually around 4 to 5 thou shorter then a standard chamber would be. That is not possible to do in the Encore as you know. What I would recommend has already been mentioned. Kind of, go with either the 280 or 280 AI. This would move your chamber out roughly 1/2" farther and should help to clean up alot of your old throat. Just for your information, I once had an encore barrel in the same chambering. I had to punch it out to 7mm STW to get the bullets to touch the lands!!!! I do not recommend the STW in the Encore, just not a good fit for that design. The 280 and 280 AI however are great choices and give you another 100 fps of velocity potential at least. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
