Farmer,
I've got some barrels that I load for that near the hairy edge of pressure tolerance for contender. (250 Savage, recently ditched my 444 Marlin)
7.62 should be handloaded in contender to lower pressures.
Would love to see that contender double barrel!
Thanks,
Jimmy[/QUOTE]

It was made by ON Target Technologies and I'm not sure if they're still in business. It used the rimfire firing pin selector lever as a barrel selector and I google searched but could not find any information or pictures of it. Most of the double rifles had a .22 rimfire top fire and a centerfire caliber for the bottom barrel.

I wanted to ask who should I contact for a encore barrel in 327 magnum? I own one T/C encore with a 300 blackout barrel and want another one in 327.

MGM may be the one for a custom barrel. I see Bullberry is going out of business do to retirement. Hope he passes the business to someone in the company. They are advertising closeouts right now. Cool caliber in .327, been wanting one for yrs. When you get the barrel, show it to us here plus a range report. Have a great holiday, Larry

Default custom barrel by D&T

That 44 will shoot like Thor's hammer, I'm sure!
MGM are fabulous barrelmakers.
If a donor barrel can be acquired and sent to David White anything is possible.
His site is down for the year's turn, hopefully it'll be back up soon.
Here's an example of his work (donor is 35 Rem Bbl):

KLYDE. Great posts! It's amazing what a half grain of powder will do for accuracy! I'll be watching this one to see what you end up with.
