Funny you should mention the Encore. I bought one of those out of Gibsons in Lawton as a BP in 50 Caliber. That's the only gun I have never been able to shoot. I ran every type of bullet I could find at Murfs in Duncan, balls, every weight of sabot ML they had, don't remember exactly amount of powders i tried. If I recall correctly I used like a 30" by 30" target to try to capture shots from that gun at 100 yards. Round balls were the worst. I first tried open sights. Moved to optics. I put a Nikon something or other on it and that just showed me how bad I or the gun was shooting. I was at the SCRAP Range at Duncan trying some new powder to see if that might help. That gun was shooting so bad I was afraid someone was going to come out to the range and see me shooting that poorly. I took it home cleaned it as best as I could and took it to Lawton and sold the entire shooting match minus powder to Uncle Sams Pawnshop for I think 200.00 dollars. That was the craziest thing I have ever seen a gun do. I really think I would have stood better odds of shooting around a corner with it than putting a round in a ten ring at 100 yards. I have heard several people speak highly of them and they love the different gun barrel thing. And seems to be pretty popular on hunting shows a few years back to. I imagine that an Encore would be a fairly lite model for 375H&H. I remember mine was impressively light for shoulder fired rifle. Wow sitting here thinking that gun has got to be a bruiser! I must say you have some interesting rifles from the sounds of it. I was going to build my first AR when I retired. I had decided to build a 6.5 Grendel but lost interest in it after having so much issue with getting good quality parts. I was looking to do a fairly nice build but parts were crazy to get ordered. Prices, availability of gun related items, must be quite a pain in the a$$ for somebody who is just getting into shooting sports. I know it turned me off of building one and I have been around shooting sports for awhile. It is nice to have the experience of how to tame those types of rifle rounds. I watched several videos of different brakes and their effects on rifles. Amazing technology.There is probably a good amount of truth on the bliss statement...If so inclined here's a link to a Alum Gas Check posting I got going over on Cast Boolits...http://castboolits.gunloads.com/showthread.php?240863-Using-Alum-for-Gas-Checks-and-Alum-Oxide
