I will.
I am not sure who is really coming with me yet.
Surgery's and life have pushed the time frame down the road.
You want to come Guy? I have plenty of XP's (Thinking my 308 Winchester XP-100 for you), and you have some nice revolvers 😇
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...
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.

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...
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...
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...
