[QUOTE="Rogue Hunter, post: 991928, member: 46048"] Jboscobuys, You should be good with the 7 ihmsa well past 250 once you get comfortable with it. The first XP-100 I ever shot belonged to a older gentleman that has since passed on. It was a bone stock 7 BR with a 2.5-8 leupold scope. All he ever did was hunt antelope with it in Wyoming every year. He had killed 28 of them all with 140 gr ballistic tips. Longest shot was almost 300 yards. I too shoot silhouettes now with three different xp's at our monthly matches. We even occasionally shoot 500m silhouette matches with them. It's great practice, but nothing beats getting out in the field and shooting varmints with them. Rock chucks and ground squirrels are my favorite:D The antelope buck that I took with my xp at 402 yards felt like a chip shot after shooting rock chucks the spring before out to 600 + yards. I had killed a black bear with it at 277 yards just a couple of weeks before the antelope hunt. I was shooting off the ground with a bipod and a rear bag. -Rock solid... Get some real velocities so you can run some accurate drops for your set-up, and find what rest works well for you whether its a bipod, bog pod, or off a back pack, and practice, practice, practice.... The 7 ihmsa will work great with the proper shot placement. You should have a fun season ahead of you! -Mike [/QUOTE]
