[QUOTE="TCKev, post: 293868, member: 8633"] I have a XP-100 in 300 Dakota that I hope one day to shoot an Elk with and plan on a Mulie this fall. I shoot 185gr Berger's and there running 2900fps or so from a 16.5" barrel. I'm in the process of working the load I'm going to hunt with now. I also have an XP in 7.21 Lazzeroni that I shoot 168gr Berger's at 2850fps also from a 16.5" barrel. I took a Buck Lope at 440yd's last year with it. I shoot the 3x12 Burris with Bal Plex reticle and I would shoot out to 600yd's with the right condition's. Me and Ernie and sscoyote went to the range in Casper last year and I shot from my bipod prone 3 shots at 600yd's that measured 6.75 inches. These short rifles are capable of longer distances than most people would think. There not that far off from rifle velocities with the round's mentioned above. Good luck with whatever you decide, ask a lot of question's and enjoy the insanity it's an awesome hobby. [/QUOTE]
