The PRC and WSM should run 130 grain & class bullets around 2900-3000 fps in sub 16" barrels. I have typically ran 18" barrel in these chamberings, so time will tell

Still have not set dates yet, but I plan to take a small group of folks (All handgun hunters) to South Africa in the Summer of 2026. I took a 357 Mag revolver and a problematic XP-100 last time which created all kinds of headaches (The XP), despite good success. Next year, there will be no Bog...

When you can highly recommend a place that is so telling about your personal experience.

A True Blessing for all in your family-Thankful.

Sometimes, I simply ask myself, "What Have I Not Taken Big Game With Yet?" Then, take that to hunt with. Easy Peasy 😇

Awesome Possum!

Congrats! I am all in for a .473 head size case (308 Family/Creed Family/30-06 Family, etc...) in the Encore. If you think I am against a 280, 280AI, 35 Whelen, 338-06, etc... in the Encore, you would be wrong. My warning was for magnum boltfaces, where you reload them to max, assuming you have...

Thanks for the info

Job well done by all! What part of Texas were you hunting?

Good shooting/Good Start. Even at that velocity, it will allow you to kill at far away distances, if you do your job behind the gun.

It depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go :) 😇 Now, I anneal after every firing. There was a time when I never annealed... Even when I didn't anneal, I had some pretty good accuracy at short and at LR. It makes your brass more consistent and malleable.

SAAMI is just a number in some ways. The real key is what your chamber and fired brass actually measure. Try bumping 1.5 thou from your fired measuring and see how the bolt closes Try it again a a 2 thou total bump and see if it is any difference. With Rem's, I take the firing pin assembly out...

Very nice set-up. I like and use Meopta optics as well

I thought they were already available or very soon, from what I have been seeing on FB

I am fine either way (y) The AB is such a good bullet...IF, they just add some weight to it (To raise the BC) OR do a redesign (Still a AB), they could own more of the market. More and more guys are shooting fast twist 25's: 25x47 Lapua, 25 GT, 25 Creed, 25-284, and the 25 PRC keeps growing in...

That would be good. I hope they lean toward the 125AB and a 130 ABLR...Nothing wrong with wishing 😇

I completely agree. If I was going to get an encore, the 280 Remington or the 280 Ackley would be my go to cartridge.

Sorry for the misspelling and everything. I was doing this while I was walking at our recreation center. I edited some things, so hopefully it makes more sense. For a period of time I would not own a TC product because of that experience. But time, changes things. I have a G2 frame, and one of...

Several things about break open actions that I have learned since the mid 80s. Number one, the larger the head diameter of the case, the greater the thrust against the frame will be. In a contender, you can shoot a 223 Remington or a 204 Ruger or a 17 Remington , and safely run high pressure...
