I saw a barrel for a T/C Encore at an auction. It was barrel stamped .22/250 which is just what I wanted as an aditional barrel for my encore muzzleloader. The tag on the barrel said .22/243 but I thought it was a misprint. In the catalouge it said .22/250. I bought the barrel and the wood forearm piece for a rifle barrel. When I went to put the barrel on the encore I see, .22/243 stamed on the underside of the barrel. Then I look at the paper work for when I payed for and piced up the barrel and it says .22/243 on it. So I slipped a .22/250 cartridge into it and it seemed to fit. So toof a spent .243 case and cut off the end ahead of the shoulder and it fit nicely into the chamber. I have no dies for it and so no ammo to shoot through it. I kind of think I will sell it to someone who will know exactly what they are getting. And get a .22/250.
