Encore won't shoot !

Be sure to post what the problem was when you find out. I am Curious. I doubt S.W. will actually tell you, but if they do please post back with it.
 
It's going to be interesting to find out what the factory has to say about this weapon. Single shots can really be a bitch or they can be the neatest gun you'll ever own. I'm betting the barrel has major issues with the chamber concentricity to the bore.
 
ditto

I'm having the same problem with a new Encore Pro Hunter in SS & 35 Whelen.
I love the rifle but 4" at 100 yards just isn't acceptable. Will be looking for an update on this problem.
Good luck.
 
Nimrod, .35 Whelens are frequently a problem for Encores. That is because the shoulder on them is so small that any headspace issue is exagerated. I've been learning about this cartrige in the Encore because I may be looking for one in the near future. What I found is that this is one where you may have to handload and play around with letting the case stretch a bit (or just the opposite and resize it a little shorter) to get the head at just the right distance from the breech face.
