Any one have one in an Encore or a Contender .
I am thinking of getting a 10" to 14" barrel in this caliber for my Encore.
I converted a model 94 ae over to this caliber and been having having a blast with it thought it would make a pretty good pistol cartrige also.
Any advice apreciated
Who can chamber this in an encore.

You might locate a 375 Win barrel for the Contender. I had one and had accuracy issues with it so called T/C and spoke with them. seems the chambers on these were cut long enough to use 38-55 brass, which I did and accuracy improved.

I agree with Leadman, I still have a 12" "Hunter" barrel from T/C that is very accurate in my Contender. If you are set on getting one for an Encore contact MGM Barrels, Bullberry will also make you one but the last one i ordered from Fred took EXACTLY one year. MGM's are cheaper you will get it quicker and just as accurate as anything Bullberry turns out. You can also check with Mike Bellm as he may have some reworks available.
