307 or 356 Winchester accuracy ejection?
« on: August 22, 2008, 03:47:05 PM »
Has any one tried these cartridges in and Encore for the reason that the are a rimmed cartridge and could help with extraction and accuracy.   I have read a few post but would like the opinion of folks here.

While they don't really eject, rimmed cases do extract more easily, and are simple to remove.

Not in an Encore, but I have used 307/356 brass a lot on Contender frames as the parent brass for several Bower wildcats over the years.

IMO in a TC whether rimmed or rimless makes no difference with extraction.   How you work the brass in loading does.   I could remove the extractors completely in most of my centerfire barrels, tip the muzzle skyward and the fired brass would simply fall out from its own weight.

Precision (accuracy) in a TC has nothing to do with whether rimmed or rimless either IMO.   How you work the brass, headspace and seat bullets does.

Has worked for me for decades.   YMMV

Evolution at work. Over two million years ago the genus Homo had small cranial capacity and thick skin to protect them from their environment. One species has evolved into obese cranial fatheads with thin skin in comparison that whines about anything and everything as their shield against their environment. Meus
