Hello Jope,
I think I guess what you are trying to do:
You want to make a barrel for your encore rifle.
Well the easiest would be to contact ssk industries and ask tem to make you one.
If you make one yourself, do you intend to build the lug your self or to use an old barrel that you want to rebore and use as a sleeve (i am talking about the first few inches past te LUG)?
I have done it like in the second way, with a 22 barrel on a contender barrel.
.50 cal is a different matter because of pressure...
One cartridge you should take a look at is the 50/70.
Brass is available, loading dies as well.
Ssk industries used to chamber a contender with it, they called the caliber 50/70/750 (as 750 gr A-max). But they stoped because of risk of blowing up the thin barrel of the contender. but in a encore it should work, no problem.
nd.
PS: the 416 steel used by border should weld quite well, but ask them confirmation
