Didn't know that T/C made a 300 RUM. Never seen or heard of one. Is it a T/C made barrel?

Same here. I can't find it listed anywhere that sells T/C barrels Like Foxridge ect. They list 416 Rigby and 375 H&H and many other standard Magnums like the 7 MM and 300 Win Mag.

Whomever rechambered this barrel to 300RUM is the idiot responsible for the explosion.
The chamber is only 1" in diameter on the encore barrels(a bolt gun barrel is 1.2" or larger) and 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.
