I think a .308 would be too hot with some surplus ammo in an Encore, of course. It sure has a large rimmed case head.

I also have a bunch of .33 Winchester stuff. I'd like to play with an Encore handgun tube in that caliber. It is a true .338 and you make brass from .45/70. It's surely no hotter than the .375#2 GNR on the same case.

Anyone ever have a contender barrel in old - Bucky, 2020-06-27, 17:48
