Doninva, How much for the 7mm-08... :grin: Just messin with ya.When i was looking for an Encore .45cal, i kept hearing from different people that the twist rate was terrible in the .45 Everyone i talked to said to buy the .50 cal and i wouldnt be able to tell that much difference and frankly i dont think i would have been able to. It must be Top Secret with Thompson Encore about the.45's because a lot of people are having the same problem.I hope you get it worked out in your favor.Good luck.
