I just bought a TC Encore in 7MM-08, 10 inch barrel. I am having a hard time finding reloading information. Can anyone help me out.

Gidday sdhunter8. Have a look at this link for loads for your Encore.
7MM-08 Pistol loads
The powders are Australian powders but they are sold in the US by Hogdon. It is difficult to search out what they are called over there. Have a look at the Powder Equivalent page in the ADI website:
Powder Equivalents
you will be able to work out the Hogdon designation for the various powders. For instance AR2208 is called Varget over there.
Good luck,
Vince

In other words I should trade off 10 inch barrel and get a 15 inch barrel. Looks like most of the loading data is for the 15" barrel anyway. I use to have a 7MM TCU and it was a blast to shoot. Thanks for the info guys.

Not familiar with the 7mm-08 in the Contender, however I found that the 30.30 in a 10" barrel was ok assuming you loaded using the appropriate powders. I used AR2207, which is the equivalent to Hogdons H4198, and it was nice and comfortable to shoot, but still strong enough to flatten the rams at 200 yds.
Unless you feel particularly inclined to go to the longer barrel I wouldn't, but then again nothing wrong with having one of each ...more versatility.....and fun.
Cheers, Vince
