Max Pressure on Encore?
I haven't seen the Encore chambered in some of the new very high pressure carts? i.e. Ultramags, etc. I am I missing something, or do those carts have too much pressure for the Encore?

(I know those calibers would be more efficient in a long barrel.)

Thanks,
QD

The thing to remember about the contender and encore is it isn't pressure by itself that is the issue, but rather that of back thrust on the frame. From what I've heard the belted H&H brass can be run full pressure, but when you go to larger dia cases, you'll have to let off the throttle a wee bit.
