[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 2631342, member: 13"] I have been doing a bit of hobbling around with this boot. [ATTACH type="full" alt="B2E2C67F-FE03-4214-8768-1D02EB84CDA9.jpeg"]398336[/ATTACH] I cannot hunt the way that I would like to hunt. The piece of property that I had permission on was relatively small, and I had one day before there could be other hunters on it. Given the limitations, I decided to bring out one of my barn-burner XP's: 26 Nosler, running the 147 ELD-M's at 3045 fps. This set up would take game at distances further than some here it would be comfortable with, but in good conditions it would definitely get the job done. The impact velocity, stays above 1800 ft./s even past 1050 yards. I have used this XP-100 on a buck antelope several years ago and it did very good at just over 500 yards. I knew there was one bigger buck for sure that was pretty heavy, but not very tall. I decided to take what was in front of me, and got the tag filled quickly.
