I'm a fan of the .375 bore. Presently I shoot a .375/06 JDJ (handgun), but it's short neck is really designed for jacketed bullets.
I saw the .375x2" proposed wildcat, but in the Encore using expensive brass isn't necessary, the '06 case will work just dandy as a .375 IMHO.
Am I on the right track with looking at the .375 Whelen as a cast bullet cartridge for the Encore? Looking at a neck length of .465", if I'm thinking correctly, the 255gr LFN GC will work nicely, I see no data to tell me if the 250 grain will. Since it's a single shot (I don't need to crimp) I do have some leeway on seating depth as it regards the bullet not intruding on powder space and keeping the grease grooves covered.
What do you all think?
