RE: 300 t/c
ORIGINAL: bigbulls Whomever rechambered this barrel to 300RUM is the idiot responsible for the explosion. The chamber is only 1" in diameter on the encore barrelsand the RUM case is .553" and that leaves .220" of steel to surround the cartridge. No wonder it exploded. This is why TC does not chamber the RUM's. They aren't designed to handle this kind of pressure. It is just fortunate that no one was hurt in the explosion of this barrel. |
RE: 300 t/c
I hate to see it blamed on T/C. They are good guns, but as shown here, they are not idiot proof.

RE: 300 t/c
Things can and do go wrong, I have personally seen a Winchester M70 blow apart, does that mean that they are (were) overpriced? My shooting partner came away with a few minor cuts, the rifle destroyed.

RE: 300 t/c
Gunsmiths swear that a fluted barrels are more ridged than octagon barrels I dissagree. I think the problem started in the chamber on this one though. Bigbulls is right somebody thought they could push the limits and almost paid highly for it.
