Default how many encore barrels do you have , and what cartridges

just looking to start a little conversation.
i've got two , a .25-06 , and a .405 winchester ,
the .25-06 after fired gives me a little trouble with extraction but is very mild in recoil.
i haven't received the .405 yet , it should arrive in about 3 days

the 6.5x55 i hear is a great cartridge for deer , my next barrels i'm thinking are going to be a .45/70 gov't in stainless , and a .358 winchester . i had a .45/70 but had to sell it , and want to get that cartridge back , and the .358 because i'm a big fan of .35 caliber

I shoot Virgin Valley full bull 300 WSM and my youngest son shoots a custom shop heavy varmit contour 270. I have some others, but they are collecting dust in the safe.

two pistol barrels in 22-250 and .308Win. Long barrels in 209X45 BP, .308Win and the 12ga turkey barrel. Now that T/C is offering the 204 Ruger in stainless, its next on my list.

I'm just into shotguns at this point. I have a turkey barrel and a rifled slug barrel. I look forward to converting it to a handgun, but waiting for the bank account to recover.....As to Brasskeeper---check e-bay under encore barrels and you should get more than you can believe.

stay away from E-bay right now, tax time and cabin fever, prices are crazy... do E-bay from may to september, and then mid november till early February... look on Guns America, Varmint Al's, Ed's T/C's, BellmT/C's.com, plus this and any other boards that have a sale section...

i haven't received the .405 yet , it should arrive in about 3 days
didja git it yet huh? didja? didja?... that's on my short list also, what did you order?... factory, or custom?... I think I'm gonna order one from the custom shop in a 26"... thinking about a 17 Rem as a fur gun also...

oh yeah back to the original post, got 2 actions, 5 stock sets, and 10 barrels in 9 different chamberings... 22 hornet, 22K-Hornet, 22-250, 243, 280AI, 375H&H, 2- 45-70"s, a 20ga slugger, and a 45X209 BP...
