[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 187180, member: 2736"] Hunlee JD Jones built the barrel for me back in the 80s and after all these years I am still impressed every time I kill anything with it. It was built to be hog medicine and I was not disappointed the first time it knocked a 300+lb hog off his feet using a 265gr flat nose bullet and he never got up. It has killed many deer with the same results . But all this comes at a cost ( Recoil ) and I tryed loading the 240gr bullets but fond them to explosive on game even though recoil was reduced. But it still requires a 4 ring scope base setup to survive and after trashing ever brand of scope I found a scope that would take the recoil ( A 4x Burris EER ) and after approximately 600 rounds fired the Burris has not changed its zero. So it was back to the 300 grainers at 1900ft/sec ( I loaded some up to 2000ft/sec but felt they were to hard on the contender frame "Not to mention the shooter " so I backed off 100 ft/sec. Only recently did a hand gun reach this kind of energy ( the 500 smith and wesson Mag) but it weighs a couple of pounds more, which should help with recoil. I intend to build one on a heaver barreled TC Encore in the future. At a recent gun show I saw a Encore pistol in 416 Rigby and I said to the owner (You gotta be kidding me) and his reply was "It ain't bad". J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
