22LR - longest range you had and under what conditions.

I take my 22s to 200yrds on steel weekly.
I have a 24” gong that I have played with at 400.
Calm day I have had 10/10 hits.
I actually enjoy a little wind. Can watch the curve in the Vapor trail. Lots of fun.
 
Here you go

Brett's got special skills

If you are going to East Elgin in a couple weeks, this is one of the Lapua Team guys you will be shooting against. Good luck with that.

I never had much interest in target shooting with my .22 back on the farm... but a gopher at 125 yards was pretty much dead...
 
Longest range kills have been on ruffed grouse at 110 - 125 paces. Mostly neck and high body. 22lr CCI 36 gr CPHP out of my Ruger 10/22. Magpul Hunter stock with a BX Trigger but otherwise stock. 2-7 Leupold. I think that's about as far as I can ethically go with that set up mind you.

Both my ex wife and current wife have loved my little Savage FVII. The ex would smoke a 10" steel plate at 200m all day long she had ~48" hold over. It was various wx conditions, but mostly pleasantly overcast warm days when the Olds range was still open. My current wife likes to seed the range with skeet clays at various distances and then she will spend the afternoon (and a few boxes of ammo) breaking them up into little clay chips. She was doing this at ~75-125m on mostly sunny days, calm air at camp sites, often with a bunch of deer watching her shoot the clays. We'd stop when the Hunter Valley wild horses would wander by though.

In the mid afternoon, late summer I was shooting out to about 200 yards. Range in the shade but the steels plates out in the sun. Could see in the scope, the bullets like tracers almost. very cool
 
I've made hits with mine (B14R in MDT XRS) on an 8" circle and 12" square steel plates at 420 yards. Pretty consistent on the 12" plate but not so much on the 8", haha. Can normally get on my 4" circle at 300 in a few shots unless the wind is rough that day. That's with CCI SV cause I'm too cheap to buy fancy .22 ammo.
 
Longest for me was 330 yards with iron sights. Using a TOZ 8M rifle. Took a few shots to figure the holdover but I was able to ding a 12 inch plate a couple times with it. Used CCI Clean subsonics. There was little wind that day, which probably helped a fair deal!

Once the weather decides to behave here, i'm hoping to push it to 400m.

Have to turn the volume way up to hear the hits, but I hit this 30x36" plate at 550 yards 8 out of 10 rounds the other day. The ding comes about 4 seconds after the shot.

This is the KYL rack at 280 yards, I shot it like we would in a match, hit to move on. I hit the strap with the first shot on the first two targets.

We regularly get out to 400yds when we go out, but have access to around 550ys (which we'll try next time out). The wind is the biggest issue for us which can make for an easy or tough day depending on what it decides to do. On a good day it is usually coming from 7:00 and blows between 5-10 mph.
 
I've made consistent hits at 325yds on a full-size IPSC in a match environment off a prop and can consistently nail a 4" square at 200yds from the prone. Haven't tried grouping at either distance and don't have access to any longer distances (yet)
