I have made shots of 135 and 153 yards. Also have made shots as close as 10 yards. I have been very happy with the XLT and loads I detailed earlier in the thread. All but2 of 9 deer have dropped where they stood. None have gone farther than 50 yards. The Hornady XTP delivers a tremendous amount of terminal shock and yet retails down range accuracy. I have cosidered switching to the Horanady SST, but have been able to justify it yet.

Good luck
