Besides, why does anyone need an excuse to buy another gun.
You're absolutely right! It doesn't take a whole lot in my mind to justify buying something like that! I agree that my 209X50 is probably a little better, but man you're right, that would be an awsome rifle for just about anything you wanted to shoot at!

I spoke with someone at T/C's custom shop to see if they had any ballistic info on their 20" Katahdin Pro Hunter 500 S&W barrels, which is what I'm looking at buying, and he said if I find hand gun ballistics I should be able to add approx. 50 fps per inch of additional barrel length. SO...According to Hornady's new web sight their new 300 grain Evolution out of a 10" barrel is flying out of the muzzle at 2075 fps, so if that guy's right, my Encore will send that monster bullet at an amazing 2575 fps!!!That's frickin awesome!
