Could someone measure the inside of the chamber right in front of the ejector and just behind the rim ledge on a encore 454 casull barrel.

I am not sure if mine is over sized. Mine measures 0.4690 the reason I think this is over sized is 454 and 45 colt cases slip easy over the extractor and wedges behind it.

I called T/C and they are sending me a new extractor and roll pin.

sounds like a bad extractor. I can't get to mine right now, but looking at the case drawings the rim is .512 and the case is .480 in the drawing I was looking at. I'll measure mine tomorrow evening and let ya know what I find

Ricky, I measured my causell barrel and just in front of the rim it measures .472. I have shot about a hundred rounds through it with no trouble at all. I really think the extractor will cure your problem. GOOD LUCK

the extractor came in today I put it in and now it makes the cases fir too tightly and scratches them. I am sure it is a smiple matter of finding the right way it fits but I bent the roll pin so it is only about 3/4 the way in and I snaped the rest off trying to get it out :x SO I am going to send the barrel back to T/C and see what they say about it
