It's not easy finding a trajectory chart past 100 yards for a .22 LR but here's one. It shows a drop of around 30 inches at 200 meters with a 50 yard zero.

50 yds to be accurate..75 yds to be good

My Anschutz is zeroed in for 75 yds and shoots half inch high at 50 yds can group size of nickle at 50 but at 75 widens...tooney..done with 3x9x40 Busnell and most ammo

I shoot my 541S and 541T at 200 occasionally, and have shot 5-shot groups under 2" at that distance. But I'm here to tell you that 30" is not enough to hit at 200. IIRC, I have to go up nearly 35" from my 100 meter setting to hit the 200 at point of aim. Regards, Eagleye.

I'm proud to admit that I have never brought a tape measure to the range...just a .22, and a big box of ammo.

Keep it fun folks.

I was shooting cars ( middle of the woods, destroyed cars) with my Krinker out to 250m, I could hear the rounds hitting the car door....

Last weekend I killed a gopher with a single shot at 150 yds.

This required 5 mils (17 MOA) of hold-over and I will admit to a bit of luck. But the Mil Dot scope has a tendency to GREATLY improve one's luck.
