Interesting video 22lr penetration test short and long range results, capable little cartridge.

Indeed it is a good one-thanx for sharing.I think every each hunter should have one- and practice with it regularly.That would greatly AND very cheaply improve one’s ability to shoot accurately.

22lr has not disappointed in forty+ years of outdoor adventure.
Pretty good shooting at 300 yards with a 22……
A rainbow trajectory at those distances, however it can kill far beyond 300 yards.Quote:

Nice Video, sent it to some friends.
Never dreamt about reaching out that far with my 22. Never thought that cartridge had it in it. Very respectful cartridge as per the penetration in that block of ice, and the shooter in the video…
Yep. There was a video floating around like 10 years ago of a guy who wrapped a store bought turkey in denim and shot it from 300 yards. It went clean through.
As for shooting 22LR that distance, its a load of fun. Ive done it at the camp where we have an 800m long field. If you have a few guys shooting downrange with 22s, you'll figure out the trajectory soon enough. Once one of you finds it, the other will get it shortly "aim for the top of the spruce tree to the left of the target". Once youve got the spot to aim figured out, with a scope, you'll hit most of a magazines worth of shells. I was even hitting it with my old Cooey Ace with fixed iron sights after a while.
Good to see post from You Blasted Saber-it has been a while.....Quote:

Was thinking the exact same thing....are we talking inches or feet of over compensation?Quote:

Your talking 8-10 feet at 300 yards. Most guys need to run tapered scope bases to get on target.Quote:
