Time for another Encore.

[reflex264]

I have the itch again. This one is going to be a .416 Taylor pistol. Gathering parts now and waiting on the new frames to come out. It probably won't be as brutal as the 450 Marlin pistol launching 300 grains 2457 fps. It will be able to take advantage of the higher BC bullets. I just got a load of brass in for it.

Wow, I like my 416 Taylor...and it's in a 9lb 10 oz rifle pkg so the felt recoil is manageable for me...
I couldn't begin to imagine the felt recoil in a hand cannon!

Did you get properly headstamped brass from Quality Cartridge?
And what bullet are you looking to shoot in it?
(I am currently using the 350 gr TSX in mine @ 2415 fps; I can go up 2 more grains to 2481 fps, but am happy with the 0.4" groups I am getting at this velocity. I still have to experiment with the 350 gr Speer Mag Tip and Swift A-Frame bullets.)

Would like to see a video of you firing that when you get it built.

Cool. Did T/C announce the return of the Encore?
I'm thinking of getting one in 7-08

I have a rifle as well. I like the 400 grain Partition in the rifle. I have also shot the 300 and 350 grain TSX and the Speer 350 grain. Actually had good results with all of them. The 350 Speer is a great cheap bullet.

Yes it is coming back. They are shipping rifles right now and will be shipping pistols in about a month.

Cool to have a rifle and pistol in the same cartridge!
What load are you using for the 400 gr Partition in your rifle? Velocity? Barrel length?

What length of barrel are going to use on the T/C?
What velocity are hoping to get out of the pistol barrel?
