Got my curiosity up as I have a little experience there. Some good info was the factory 200 gr. ammo was running a little under 2450 fps in a 15" Encore. That is around 75-80 grs. of powder?! I remember me working with my .338 GNR and around 60 grs. of powder with the 14" Encore and 200 gr. bullets. I got a true 2600 fps with very efficient burn. We took (2) Blackbucks at the Y-O with it.

I've never fired a .338 Win. Mag. from a 15" barrel but I have from a 22" and I can think of a more pleasant place to be than close proximity. I'd probably not enjoy a belted Handgun ctg.with the bumping extractor on the TC. I don't think but that was some interesting comparative information.

Gary have you guys ever done Encore handgun bbls. in - WB, 2018-02-16, 12:47

- They won't due more than the 366 GNR or 416 GNR . (nm) - Sean Harper, 2018-02-16, 12:59
  - Sean is right. They would be very inefficient. (nm) - Gary Reeder, 2018-02-16, 13:41

  - I know those are designed special for handgun applications - WB, 2018-02-16, 13:12
    - that is a problem, somewhat, that we are going thru - Gary Reeder, 2018-02-16, 14:10
- Maybe the 9.3x74R should be included in the question - WB, 2018-02-16, 12:57
  - the factory 9.3 X 74 is a beast in a Contender - Gary Reeder, 2018-02-16, 14:26
