You ought to see the case stretch on a 22-250… YIKES.. from zero headspace it will still stretch .015-.020” on factory loads… Just pressure versus the highly tapered case.. Reloading is basically moot. Case life is way too short.

Right-on

we need a ultra magnum frame

Please help me understand I've always been told by high-end guns method break barrels are the worst thing for your scope and scope mount and that they can't be as accurate as a bolt action

Really like the MGM barrel but I’m not sure about ordering one. I’ve sent several emails for information and have yet to receive any responses.

This is exactly why I like the falling block rifles unlimited frame and single shot accuracy. Buy a gas gun if you want light and also fast.

I have a Martini action in 357Remington Max, used to have a Mike Bellm Contender 14 inch barrel. A great cartridge. I have a hoard of Noslers discontinued 180 grain pistol partition bullet and it is ideal in this round.

I have the Contender frame !! I also have the Contender from the first series which most of the barrel were Octagon, plus the rim fire / center fire selector is different! My second Contender frame I only use the 14” bulls barrels on !! It also has the mountain lion on the sides along with firing pin selector being different!

Don't understand your comment on the 357Max not going fast enough for some 357 bullets to expand. If they work for 357mag like XTPs , why won't 357Max not work?

6.5 Creedmoor

I've asked Greg Ritz via messenger for a timeliness about when the new Encore Pro hunters are set to return to the market, no response. Have you, by chance heard anything?

I have a pro hunter and have a 30-06 deadly accurate never had to use a second shot best single shot out there no exceptions.

What does a custom MGM 7 mm Remington mag cost??? And how long does it take to get one?? Question

Have five barrels from my TC love it

My Contender pistol has a 14" barrel and it kills like lightening.

I've had great success with the .444 Marlin in both a lever gun and a Contender pistol.

We have 2 TC Encores love them but when we bought 35 Whelen barrels they both misfire with these barrels. What is our best options. All other barrels work properly.

1st choice - 444 closely followed by the ol reliable 45-70

what if I just have the T/C Encore frame with no stocks of any kind at all

Can you build barrels for new England firearms and h and r rifles

Don't forget the 35 whelin

😂 You must have been. Using the weakest 4570 ammo, known to man.

How about the 375 H&H Mag. I have one for my encore barrel and the recoil is not that bad. 375 H&H is a good long range round.

do G2 barrel fit into Encore?

I'd swap the 300 mag for a 243. You already have the 7.

I'm a 25/06 heavy barrel shooter, but that's just me, an old hillbilly.

.444 with a 20 in. twist or .45-70 with a 18 in. twist will reach out to 350 yards with rifle type bullets. They are more flexible from deer to moose.

Yes 7mm rem mag & 300 win mag

How about the 450 marlin mag. Any input ? Greatly appreciate it thank you.

What about 38-55?

I've shot the 7mmRem mag and the 300Win mag calibers in assorted rifles over the past half-century and they are all outstanding for accuracy and power. I've only shot the Encore rifle with a factory Pro-Hunter standard weight barrel in .243Win. I have settled on the Hornady factory 100 gr. BTSP load and it always delivers five-shot groups around 3/4 inch or less. I hope to try this same gun with a 270Win barrel since it has always been my favorite caliber. I began shooting the TC Contender pistol in 1968 when the only offerings that I could find were the .357mag and the 22lr calibers. I bought an octagon barrel version because that's all that was available. I had owned several revolvers in.357mag caliber so that's what I chose for the Contender. My first groups with the TC blew my socks off. I never looked back. I went on to shoot that gun in 7mmTcu to qualify and shoot AAA Class in Production Handgun Silhouette. I've not owned the MGM barrels but in conversations with shooters who have, they say they are outstanding for accuracy and quality.

I have always been surprised that the 444 is not more popular

What brand scope?

I have two.300 WM and love it

A company should make barrels or a single shot in 348 win would be great !

Do you get an increase in velocity when going to a rifle powder and using a longer barrel like the 16.5"?

What handguard is that on on your 400 legend?

just picked up a TC Encore, blued frame, stainless 7mag barrel for 500. Looks like i found a good deal and the right long range to boot

Has anyone ever chambered a lever action in 357 max?

Your not comparing apples and apples Do your tests with as close as possible bullet weights. Pistol bullets are light weight. You can't compare them to heavy rifle bullets

Why do you need a SCOPE to hit something at 500 yards? We never had scopes in the USMC and we had NO PROBLEM hitting targets at 500 yards with iron sights... Is everyone today part of LGBTQ?

Bear Creek Ballistics now makes 450 Bushmaster that sends a 240gr solid copper bullet 2600 fps, but it’s not cheap

Is it possible to get a .500 JRH barrel to fit a g1? Mountain man

What was the barrel length you tested the 300WM with?

I bought an EABCO 22.250 barrel and a factory barrel from them, too. They are simply not accurate with bullets over 45 grains. I’ve tried dozens of reload combinations with no luck.

325 grain gc cast at 18-22 hardness is a great 444 marlin rifle bullet. These need to be pushed fast as possible to get good accuracy. I get 2500 fps plus from my 26" encore!

I have 7 MGM barrels for T/C Encores & Contenders, both rifle and pistol. It's great to be able to custom order exactly what you want and know it's going to shoot great.

Thanks for NOT having Ads!!!

The only firearms training i have is threw the service and it wasnt much as i was in the Navy lol So when it came to firearms we just had to qualify with a 22LR caliber AR and 1911 when i was in. It was an M4 carbine of the 80s lol We only had minimal training when it came to shooting it self, but had plenty of firarms safety training. With my swim test the seals wanted me but i quickly said no thank you sir i am not crazy enough for that! LOL i was scared enough going in at ,Just days after my 18th birthday ,going into the regula Navy! LOL In any case i loved that part of the training the most as i have always loved firearms! but never got the chance to learn much about that. Taking this or that handgun or rifle apart to clean ,yes, but not much else. I have since educated my self on building ARs and other bolt guns. But im very far from any kind of expert! Right now im playing a sponge so i can learn all i can to make this hobby even more fun and so i can better defend my self ,or family if i ever have too!?! So i subbed your channel as i think it will teach me a lot! Thanks

See im not even sure what calibers u Can or Cant use in a 3gun shoot? LOL
