First off, Welcome to the board.
The following is a link to a thread about a Grendel in a Contender.
http://www.65grendel.com/forum/showthrea...=contender
SSK is also offering the Grendel for a Encore or Contender
http://sskindustries.com/6-5-grendel
I think the Grendel would be a great round for your Encore but if you're going with EABCO you might want to look at there 6.5 BMR, I think it's parent case is the 30-30. For the Encore or Contender it offers very good ballistics a little better than the Grendel(I apologize to all my fellow Grendelites for my blasphemy). That said I'm considering a Grendel barrel for my Contender, because I'm already set-up for reloading the Grendel.
Hope this helps.
p.s. just came from the EABCO website, are they offering the Grendel in an Encore or Contender barrel? If they are I didn't see it.
