[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 713369, member: 25383"] have always wanted an XP100, but want the early single shot model. I shoot a T/C in .222 with a 15" Wilson barrel. I opted for the national match chamber and a .246 neck. It'll push a 52 grain Sierra to about 2700fps without too much trouble, and groups in the mid to high sixes. I've found that most 22 centerfire pistols are very picky about bullets for some odd ball reason, and flat based bullets seem to group better for me. Mine has the 1:14 twist barrel, and really wish it was a 1:12 or better yet a 1:10 twist. Have had pretty good luck with H322 and BLC2 with XM2015BR right behind it. Got a can of N133 to try whenever I get the notion with some 50 grain bullets that have a lower B/C. It's a lot of fun busting crows out to about 220 yards. (not much left after a hit) I've had better luck shooting all my pistols off bags than with a bipod. Specially the barrels that generate a lot of recoil (.357 Herrett, 35 remington, and .445 Supermag). gary [/QUOTE]
