These are the original X and both shoot very well out of my .257R Ruger RL. These will be used on whitetail deer up to 200 pounds. Take your kids hunting, instead of hunting your kids.

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite! Stolen from an erudite CF member.
