I don't plan on taking out vehicles or taking out people behind barriers.
We don't carry concealed because we PLAN on using it, but do carry just IN CASE we need to. Come on Ernie.....get my drift!

That is about 400 fps slower than what Winchester says they accomplished in a rifle. I bet some loading will get you closer to a 300 fps gap to a rifle.
At sea level with your factory ammo with a 100 yard zero you will have at 500 yards a drop of 13.50 MOA and a wind correction with a 10mph full value 4.75 MOA (or it drifts 25.1").
If energy is an issue at 500 yards 1085 with impact velocity at 500 yards is 1648fps.
It is about 100 fps slower than what Winchester's Powerpoint 308Win load with the 180 grain bullet (2620 fps)
Thanks Ernie! I look forward to seeing what it will do with handloads.

With the larger head size of the WM (more back thrust with the same pressure than you will get with the 06/308 head size .473), be checking the case length as you start working up your load.

As a comparison consider my 16.5 inch 7.82 Patriot XP.
My 7.82 Patriot XP would run a 150 NBT just over 3000 fps, and the 180 Sierra Game King was around 2750 fps.
The Patriot is a tad larger than 300 WSM, but smaller in capacity than the 300 WM.
Again, you cannot run a larger head size like the WM or RM to the same pressure in an Encore like you can with a .473 head size.

I call it 2700 fps but I had an avg of 2683 with the 180gr BT's and I know I still have room. As long as his headspace on the frame is good it shouldn't have any issues. Pab if that thing starts stretching brass let me know because there is a fix for it.
Ernie I still think you'd look good with an oversized XP looking bolt pistol in 50BMG, besides you never know when you may have to stop and armored hummer, peterbilt, kenworth, etc.

Now you are starting to sound like sscoyote (Steve H.)
Not really my line of work
Besides I do not always have a SP bolt rig with me at all times.
