The 7BR in an XP or Encore is a good deer/antelope/varmint round. I have two of the XP's and the one with a HS Prescision stock has taken two antelope, one deer and many coyotes and some prairie dogs. I shoot nothing but 120grn Ballistic Tips.
I used to shoot the Sierra Pro Hunter in 120 grn and it was a good deer round but ran out of them and found a great deal onthe Ballistic Tips. Here is a photo of my neighbor that went with me to Wyoming. He had never shot an XP until two weeks before the hunt and took him to the range a couple of times. He shot this goat at 235 yds with a Ballistic Tip resting on his back pack. Dropped right there.
