[QUOTE="cschol, post: 1642502, member: 45684"] I’ve had an Encore for over a decade, now primarily it stays in ML configuration. I ran into a problem with the 28” pro hunter barrel in 300 WM. Although accuracy was exceptional, pressure was too much for the frame to handle. It would stretch enough at the critical time and ruin brass. I would get 3 firings at best on a piece of brass before the case would split just above the belt. Didn’t matter if I shoulder bumped or neck sizes only. I didn’t load hot, without digging up old data I’d say mild to medium. Velocity was better with the longer tube and shy’d away from going to its full potential. Especially once I noticed the brass issues. I sold the barrel It kicked like a rented mule. [/QUOTE]
