OK, first thing, I'm jealous. I hunted goats last year and had a blast. Didn't draw this year for Wyoming. Loads: In my XP100 it likes two loads with the factory 15" barrel. My first choice is H335, starting at 31grns. Mine likes 32grns. I use the Nosler 120grn BT with this. OAL 2.300. I get 2480-2500 fps depending on the temp. Shoots under an inch at 100yd. I zero this load at 150yds and it's 4" low at 200yd. My next favorite load is IMR 4895, 30 grns. Using the Hornady V-Max 120grn. OAL 2.300. It shoots right at 1" at 100yds and shoots 2450fps at 70 degrees. I took a nice whitetail doe with this load at 140yds. Double lung, and about 20 yd run. I know my buddy shoots the 7BR Encore 15" and loads RL7, 28.5grns, with 120grn Nosler BT. Not sure of fps but he has taken several deer and coyotes with it. Good luck on the hunt.

deadeye, The 7Br will do the job. I have pretty much gone to the Extreme line whenever possible as they are not a temp sensitive as other brands. Good luck on your hunt.

H335 seems to work well with the 120 grain bullets. I have used RL12, but unfortunately it isn't made any more. Thought about AA 2015, but had enough loaded that I haven't tried it yet. The BR has worked well for me on Antelope with a 120 Nosler.

The 7BR will do the job. I witnessed a buddy kill two javalina @ 310yds with one shot from a 7BR xp-100. They were standing broadside, shoulder to shoulder and the 130gr bullet dropped both in their tracks. He uses H-335.

Can't answer about the "X" bullets but the 120 NBT will work great on antelope.

Steve, I was very impressed too. This took place last year in Tx on a hog/javalina hunt.
