Each one is different. I had a 270 barrel liked almost everything I put throught it, my sons 24" 243 likes Superperformance Hornady, and I have a finicky 26" heavy barrel 25/06 barrel that likes anything in 120gr only. From what I have read and seen, the shorter length factory barrels have the best results, however, that 270 Prohunter barrel shot like a dream. Got rid of it because I just didn't see myself using it.

The fun of having an Encore is finding the ammo that it likes, factory and/or reload. It's nice to know which factory round works because you might need them at some point - like finding that the pressure spikes on your reloads with temperature changes and not being home to fix it.

My experience is heavier bullets "Usually" work best, except when they don't. I have yet to find one that changes the bullets it likes when you change the frame.

Honestly, I have all the barrels I want or could ever need..... wait, look, there's another!!
