headspace issues yes, misfires no. You have a rifle that is two pieces made separately. The headspace is from the back of the case to the face of the frame where the firing pin is located. Since the barrel and frame aren't matched there is going to be a gap between the barrel and frame. Anything over .004 is excess, I bet most peoples Encores have at least that much gap. Have you ever looked at what .004 is, its not much. It's easy to correct you just back off your full length sizing die so that a case sticks out the chamber what ever distance your gap is minus .001-.003. Mike Bellm is kinda shady if you ask me. If you look at his website he says he no longer does barrel work, but encourages people to send him barrels so he can charge $50 to send it to someone else to work on. Then he talks about TC barrels as though they are junk. Okay my 6.5x55 TC barrel can shoot sub-moa all day like 0.5-0.8". Then he turns around and pushes bergara junk. You remember when everyone was out of stock with Begara's, it wasn't because of the demand, it was because of major issues with bad crowning and extractors and barrel lugs being too long and damaging peoples frames. I talked to a sales rep for an online store and he told me this personally. I was an idiot and bought one that I found online. Sure enough, crown looks like it was cut with a chisel and my extractor is way too long.
