Dad bought one of the first XP's in 7mm BR, and as I was young and eager, he let me load ammo, back when it was a real man's job to make the damn cases grin If the BR isn't feisty enough for you, rechamber it for the 7mm IHMSA, or even the full length 7mm-08.

If your arms are long, you may be fine with them, but do make sure the eye relief with your preferred scope works for you - if it does not, you'll want one of the rear grip models. That model is also very desireable:
