T/C Encore pressure signs
In my 25-06Rem Encore I'm able to duplicate most all of the max and near max loads that my friends load in their bolt guns. I haven't seen any signs of high pressure at all so far. I've always heard the Encore action wasn't as strong as the average bolt gun and couldn't be loaded as hot, but now I don't know. What have you all experienced with the Encores? Should I be looking for different pressure signs than with bolt guns? Are most of you Encore guys able to shoot max loads without problems? Thanks for any input. Brett

RE: T/C Encore pressure signs
The encore will safely handle the pressures of all the same cartridges and more. Granted the encore isn't as strong as a modern bolt gun but they are plenty strong enough to handle all the pressure levels that are withinn SAAMI specifications.
