I just finished building this T/C Encore and I believe it is "The ULTIMATE 357 Maximum"...
Any questions, just ask!

Can't disagree with that statement of fact. Best I've seen.
Thank you Sir!
Tell us about the wood - Beautiful build.

You can't just post finished photos of a firearm like that without any details!
Thank you Artful!

Sorry jmorris! I just finished a post above this one, that shows the specs of this build....
I find recoil very managable with the 10 TC and the H&R. Why the need for the noisemaker on the end? It is a good looking gun.

Blue scope rail?
Very nice!

Why the noise maker? That's a heavy gun and a 357 max doesn't kick that bad.
What speeds are you getting from your Encore?
Blued scope rail - it's what the customer asked for....
Noise maker - with this cartridge, caliber and barrel length, the gun is "quieter" with the muzzle brake than without....
Speeds - this is not my gun so I will not be doing a load development on it. I did however, shoot a couple of the Hornady 140 gr. FTX through this gun and was able to safely push them to over 2,700 fps....
Awesome speed - I usually load 158 or heavier in my Max barrel

Artful,
I load SPEER's 180 gr. Hot Cor bullets in my 357 Maximum...
Do you or anyone else know where we can get Remington's 158 JSP bullets? This is one of my favorite "light weight" bullets for the Max. and the guy I built this gun for, is looking for the same bullet....
nice job well Done atta boy

That's a bleeder?

Needlees criticism that was wrong going out the gate. As I said, I agree that as a matter of fact, in my eyes, that is "The ULTIMATE 357 Max!"
