I picked up a new to me XP-100 in .221 a little while back. I went with new ammo because I needed the brass.
About the best I managed was two inch three shot groups yesterday. Brutal hot out there with a mirage running but still it wasn't great. Chronograph died, it was pretty old anyway. HSM ammo with 55grn v-max bullets.
I'm thinking about some 40 grn varmint type bullets and I have some IMR 4198. My thinking is it's not going to reach out there much past 250 anyway so I might as well shoot as flat and fast as I can until then. Ya or nay?
Anyone have any experience to share with this cartridge?
