.338 in Encore handgun

[Deets066]

I'd turkey hunt with that M'fer...

Just because..

Pretty wide spread on it, short barrel doesn't pattern for chit.

I deer hunt with it sometimes

I've seen Bulberry Encore barrels in .338 Federal, but good Lord!

 

[Deets066]

I think he ought to go for the 338 ultra mag

Trying to catapult a concrete block at your face?!?

It's like the human trebuchet.

It's like the human trebuchet.

It would be entertaining. Just about the time the front sight bounced off of your nose, the concrete block would slam into your forehead.

Something like this...

Any kind of belted magnum in a handgun is for people who just hate themselves.

Or BDSM folks.

That's one of those "I should have worn a helmet, moments." Or just say no.

Where did he get a .600 NE barrel for it? I wouldn't think it even possible to fit that big a cartridge to that frame. Watch the video of the guy shooting the .700 NE double, that one looks waaayyyy easier to shoot.

So let’s see the 338 roar! Lol

 

[FergusonTO35]

Fill the case up with Trail Boss, add a 200 grain lead bullet, and let 'er rip! That would be the only load for that gun which makes sense to me.

Trailboss? That would grenade I think...yup...kaplooey

I’m not so sure that I would be smart enough to say no if someone offered letting me shoot theirs lol. I love big guns and recoil and jump at the chance to shoot any of them when I’m at the local range.

Trail Boss is intended to be used the same as black powder in cartridges, you fill up the entire case under the bullet with no air space:

That being said, I think the stuff is overpriced for what it is. I use slower pistol and shotgun powders for my reduced loads. 4895 (both Hodgdon and IMR) works awesome for medium strength rifle loads and can be reduced quite a bit if needed.

Never knew that about being used as black powder equivalent. Cool stuff. I still wouldn’t want to try a full case in a 338 as it was never a black powder cartridge. Reduced load yes, but not a full power load due to its very fast burn rate. I wanna say my brother loads 4831 in his 338WM, or was it 4350. Haven’t reloaded in a while lol.

You're a lucky man. I have a bit of essential tremor that turns into flinch if I'm not careful. The hardest kicker I can manage is my Browning BLR .308 with smart loads. Really, my comfort zone is .30-30 or trapdoor level .45-70.

4350 is a slow burner that works great in long barrels with heavy bullets. My .257 Roberts is deadly with 38.5 grains under a 117 grain Sierra Pro Hunter.
