So I have found a 15in SSK 375-06 JDJ SS barrel for my encore with dies, 100 pieces of brass ready to form and approx 50-100 j word bullets. Rifling looks good. Also has scope base and rings on top. All from SSK. Asking Price from the guy is $350. What do you all think. Also How will this round work with cast and what boolits have you guys used in this kind of set up?
Thanks
Matthew

Can't tell you one it as far as cast. Don't know why it wouldn't shoot. The last one I shot was shooter. Recoil to me was not as bad as I had expected. Nothing I would want 40 rounds of in a match, but a 20 round or so range session would be OK.
Ssk makes some of the best Encore barrels in my opinion. The 375-06 should be a good cast shooter, I remember reading about it here. I think it was Buckshot that had done some work with one.

Sounds like a fun barrel and cartridge to use. I don't see any problem with it. the .375 Whelen is a pretty awesome round too. One could probably take anything with it when out hunting. Of course you don't have to worry about TRex's anymore.
I have a 375 Whelen and it may be the most accurate big bore I've ever owned. Mine is on a 03a3.
............My rifle is a 375-06 AI. The jacketed slug is a 220gr 30 Cal. Cast slug next to it is a 352 gr from NEI. 1st loaded round is the 352 gr NEI, next is a 328 gr NEI. My rifle has a 14" twist. I'd think a factory 30-'06 in a handgun would be more stimulation then I'd care to endure myself

I think it it too large of a case capacity for a 15" barrel. The standard 375JDJ or the 375 Winchester would be much better with a 15" barrel.
