[QUOTE="Dan B, post: 99455, member: 367"] Kirby...I was asking so I can start gathering components for the XP that you signed for yesterday. I know the .284 Winny is on the light side but w/ a 160gr bullet and some calculations I have ran, it will still deliver over 1500 ft.lb. at 500 yards. Sufficient for "calendar" shots...broadside, relaxed and unsuspecting. I'm fully aware that it won't drive a bullet from stem to stern...and that's ok. The gun will be shot a lot (in matches and deer hunting) and I want it to last a while (hence the .284 vs the 7WSM)...then once I'm comfortable at shooting beyond 500yds then I'll jump to the 7WSM. Sounds like a 154gr IB or 160gr AB will be the first to scoot down the tube of my APS XP-100. Opinions is what I'm looking for. Thanks fellas......Dan [/QUOTE]
