I had a 25-06 Encore barrel that had a bad habit of not going bang when the hammer dropped. Seemed to occur very randomly. I guess it could have been my handloads.

I sold it to a dude on EBay. I never heard back from him so I guess I worked for him.

Other than that it seemed to shoot okay. Not earth shattering, sub-MOA groups, but somewhere around 1.5 inch groups.
