[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 248512, member: 8843"] You realy can't do this in an Encore barrel as the barrel will have to be set back some , a 223 Ackley reamer can be run in their a little deeper giving you somwhat of a Gibbs style chamber but I woulden't reccomend doing that , you best be would be to either ream it to 22-250 Ai or get another barrel. the True Ackely chamberes are a little bit shorter at the nech shoulder junction than the factory this allows you to fire factroy ammo with no worry of excessive headspace. With the Gibbs desgine the whole shoulder is blown forward some this both increases case capacity and shortens the neck some. On the Encore you have the extractor holding the case in place to the firingpin won't knock it forward and their realy isin't a down side to this desgie other than needing to fire form your brass before you shoot any normal loads because of the excessive headspace , their is also the possibility of splitting some necks. I know a three guys that did this with the 25-05 barrels they had two of them rechambered to 25-300 win mag and the other to 257Wby as they diden't like the fireforming [/QUOTE]
