Weatherby

Palladin8 · 11-28-2007, 10:26 PM

Does anyone know of a company that makes the Encore rifle barrels in Weatherby calibers? .257, 270, or .340? I am wanting to buy the encore frame and thought the Weatherby might be a good choice in barrels.

Thanks,

Scott

Doesn't Bulberry (sp) make barrels for Encores in any chambering?

Aside from the .340 which is regarded as their best (efficient)
round Weatherby cartridges are overbore. This means a very large case with much extra powder for a rather small gain in performance. Expect to pay a premium price for a Weatherby proprietary round in a barrel due to the lack of demand.
I suggest you check comparative ballistic tables and think about a more conventional round.

I like the Weatherby cartridges as they squeeze about as much velocity out of the particular caliber they are in. I wouldn't think that it would be that hard to chamber a barrel in one I am just wondering if there is a licensing issue or something. I have searched several custom barrel sites and haven't found one that does chamber for the weatherby. If they can do a 375JDJ I would think they could do a weatherby caliber.
