any interest in an 200 yrd chalenge,I currently shoot 4-6 inch groops @ coquitlam range with 10/22.I am testing bvss for same distance. :sniper:post target with measuring tool (tape or vernier).good luck
 
too much snow right now. but i had my CZ513 @ 250yrds and i was hitting a 8" steel gong 9/10 shots. i think my 200yrd group would be aroung the 6-8" mark
 
This was one of my best groups at 200 metres last summer.

Anschutz 54.18 MSR.

I will have to give this a try - I was out today slogging through the snow and had a great time. I only just zeroed to 100m though - might have to bring a telescope to save the walk!

I noticed a little drop and delay at 100m, 200 will be hilarious.

1.5" group at 200 is crazy good. I had a 3" group at 100 and thought I was doing something right!
 
no real rules,any 22lr.no magnums,target of your choosing any scope .just a gentlemans agreement not to cheat.ps i have had good luck with blaser,win target( black box)and stingers .just about to test yellow jackets in my bvss.no i dont reload 22lr.the 1.5 inch group is crazy good,any verifiers?
 
If you are serious about tight groups at longer ranges, then Subsonic and standard loads are the way to go... speed does not matter in long range shooting... every load is going to be subsonic when it gets to the target... starting subsonic gives you a more stable long range projectile... Mini-Mag solids go subsonic around 60 yards and Stingers will go subsonic around 110 yards (depending on barrel and environmental conditions)... also remember that when you zero at 200 yards there is ZERO drop at 200 yards.... some of you guys are going to surprise yourselves at how accurate you can be with the lowly LR at 200... it is a great way to work on shooting technique...

In my humble opinion, at distances greater than 100 yards, the wind plays a more significant factor than other variables like ammunition type or quality. I find that there isn't too much difference between sub-sonic and super-sonic ammo because a slight increase in wind can move the bullet off by a several inches.

The key to long-range shooting with rimfire is to guage the wind which is easier said than done. On a windless day with moderate temperature, sub-sonic, higher quality ammo is the way to go.

Wind is obviously a factor, but again sub-sonic ammo is LESS prone to wind deflection than HV ammo... so again, shoot subs... better in wind and no bucking the transonic zone.

Sub-sonic ammunition is NOT less susceptible to "wind" deflection. It's not suscepible to distubances related to the physics of transcending through the subsonic to supersonic transition and the effects this has on the bullet's stabalization. Nothing to do with less wind deflection.

My friend you are incorrect... Of course it does not go through the transonic zone... it starts out below it and as far as I know, no bullets "speed up" after they leave the barrel... but as for wind deflection, it is a bit of a brain twister, but you are NOT correct regarding subsonic ammo and wind deflection... I could give you the long explanation or a hundred web links, but I don't have time to explain it to you... so see the one link below and investigate further if you still don't understand or concur;
