With the number of single shot rifles on the market with inter-changeable barrels why isn't someone offering barrels in someolder calibres such as 35 Win,33 win,348 win . These were all rather potent calibres in their day and would still be well suited for deer,black bears,wild boar and even elk and moose at reasonable ranges. With replacement barrels for the H&R Handi rifle running around $100 a person could play with several of these calibres and not break the bank. It seems to me that there is a market that is not being serviced. What calibre would you like to see??

Those particular cartridges you mention were for repeaters and not single shots! The nostalgia group might go for a black powder round first don't you think?

Savage 99 The 270,280,30-06,308 and 30-30 were also designed for repeating rifles but H&R is marketing barrels in those calibres. I mentioned the calibres that I did because they are all rimmed cases that work nicely in a single shot

You can get an Encore barrel chambered for those calibers. I had one made in .405 Winchester.

C. A. Plater,
You have my attention. Who made your .405 Win?
I would like details! How well does it shoot, loads, all of that good stuff. I have been looking for one of the No. 1s in .405 but it doesn't seem like they are becoming available to quickly. So I was looking at the Encore route.

My one wish is that somebody would offer an ejector on their custom barrels, and maybe a retrofit for the barrels I own.

Anyway, thanks in advance. Sean

I found my .405 data from Hornady and put it here :Hornady .405 load data
