TG, the reason you cannot and will not find anybody reputable to chamber a WSM in the encore is the barrel diameter. By the time you hog out all the steel to chamber that really fat little puppy, your chamber walls would be like foil. Well, not quite, but NOT thick enough to be safe with the WSM's 65K pressures.
Your choices would be a 6.5-.284, or a 6.5-06, or even the .264 Win Mag. That is, if the 6.5 Swede or 260 Winnie don't have enough "oomph" for you. All of those will work nicely in an Encore.
