Has anyone here had any experience with Winchester Short Magnums in the Encore?

Im hearing there have been some problems with them.

Seems like the WSM's and RUM's generated too much pressure for the Encore frame, I could be wrong though.

Well last I recall, the Encore chamber pressure was rated at about 70,000psi.

BUt I also found this article talking about something called bolt thrust. Im not familiar with this issue.

300 WSM - Winchester Short Magnum cartridges and rifles. Why no short magnums in the TC Encore or Ruger #1? WSM, WSSM, Short Ultra Mags, are for short action bolt guns.
