[QUOTE="Mark Hampton, post: 175903, member: 770"] [b]400 yard whitetail[/b] Barm, I have used an XP in 284 Winchester for big game including several different species of ibex and sheep. The Nosler 140 BT is the only bullet I have used and it performed well. Shots ranged from 100 to 320 yards. I would lean toward the Nosler AB for larger species. Kirby is putting the finishing touches on the 284 now (rebarrel) and I plan on using it soon on another sheep hunt. I prefer 17 + inch barrels to get a tad more velocity. The 6.5 WSM is another XP offering that is capable of taking whitetail out to 400 yards. So far I have been using Nosler 120 grain BT's. The longest shot I have encountered was a bezoar ibex in Turkey last Christmas at a touch over 300 yards. I want to try the Nosler 130 AB as soon as I have the opportunity. Good luck [/QUOTE]
