[QUOTE="TxPhred, post: 1521831, member: 56833"] Backyardsniper, I am also a fan of the TC pistol platform, I have 4 calibers. 7mm Super Bower (7mm08 AI), 375 JDJ, 223 and a 25-35 Win. All are sub MOA shooters. I agree with the reply that you max out at the Belted Magnums and 300 Win Mag was the limit on the encore platform which was the last frame I purchased. My suggestion would be to contact [URL]http://sskindustries.com/[/URL] for a little guidance as JD Jones was the creator of the JDJ series of calibers that put TC hunting pistols on the map with the advent of the 375 JDJ which I believe still holds the most world record PISTOL trophies to date. If there is a new holder please forgive my misinformation. SSK would be able to guide you to the proper bullet for your application based on the barrel length. I personally get 1.5 - 2" MOA from my 7mm Super Bower at 3 yards and it is a pleasure to shoot. 15" barrel / 16 with Muzzle brake, also with the same bullet you are using. Would not hesitate to use same on Whitetail Deer but would not consider for Elk. I would consider one of the solid / monolithic bullets and a ballistics calculator to calculate the speed at the max distance you are planning to hunt and see if the minimum required speed for expansion of the bullet is comparable. I think a Nosler Partition might also be in order as, if memory serves, has good expansion at lower terminal velocities. In any case, I am interested to see what you come up with and the results of your hunt once completed On a side note, I would probably have a barrel made that was just over 16" with brake (with a brake are not fun to shoot IMHO) as the flexibility of the TC pistol is to change the pistol grip to rifle butt stock and the same barrel would make an excellent truck gun without the short barrel regulations getting in the way. again, best of luck. here is a little fun I had with my 223.
