Good choice on the rifle, I have heard alot of good things about that gun. I bought a 20" TC Encore barrel in .500 S&W last year for the Indiana deer season and it put a real thump on those deer, I ended up with 1 buck and 4 does. It was a huge difference from the Rem 1100 I use to carry.

I was looking at selling it and moving to a .44mag but decided to stick with the barrelaftera deal to sell fell though. 350 grains at 1700fps and shoots around an inch.

What part of Indiana do you hunt in? I hunt up in Fulton County, Rochester.
