Straight wall rounds

[Nowater2shallow]

one story short i go an TC encor action and stock for free and would like to try and deer hunt with it in Ohio which entails the straight wall round law what would be the best round for over all, as a bow hunter i never thought i would i would gun hunt but i guess its worth a try

.44 Magnum or .45/70 would be my choices.

45/70 is tapered.

350 Legend. It's a new round. There was a writeup about it in the last American Rifleman.

350 Legend or a 450 Bushmaster would be my choice.

.450 Bushmaster

350 legend.... 150 gr bullet at 2200-2300fps. Absolutely no recoil. I’ve got a savage axis in left hand(340 bucks). An e-carbo trigger spring and shim kit in it(20 bucks). I’m shooting under 1” groups at 100 with Winchester and hornady ammo... the 450bm is a handful if you’re recoil sensitive.

I have killed deer at distances up to 75 yards with a T/C Encore pistol in .44 Mag. A rifle barrel would extend that range considerably. The .350 Legend as noted above has been getting rave reviews and might be worth looking into.

450 Bushmaster. I have one and love it. Hoping to see how it does this fall.

45/70 is tapered.

But it does not have a shoulder so the walls are straight. Ohio mentions it as a legal round.

45/70 is tapered.

All cartridge cases have a taper, or they wouldn't chamber, as long as it isn't a necked round it's considered a straight wall cartridge.

Some are in fact straight. 357 mag 38 special, 45 colt etc. The 45-70 is in fact tapered as the case is larger in diameter at the head than it is at the mouth.

there are a lot of good options. all of the above works but would also consider 444. if you want a challenge use a pistole if allowed. a revolver in 44 mag is what I use time for time and have also used 357 mag.
for rifle straight wall I use a 444 marlin and that round is awesome but be ready as it kicks like a mule.

The 350 is a tapered case also. Ohio has a list of accepted cartridges if you want to check.

.375 win Is a good straight wall round also. I have it in an encore. I have took several deer at 200 yards with it.

True but it is still a straight walled case.

You might take a look at shotgun slug barrels as well. They are surprisingly accurate with modern sabot rounds.

As well as the places listed above, you can also find Encore barrels here:

Shoot me a PM if you have questions. I have been shooting Encore rifles and pistols extensively for over 20 years.
