22lr standard, 100, 150 and 200 yard zero?

JBM is full of rimfire projectile ballistics profiles. Just pick the one you want to use and input nor MV. It will give you whatever chart you want.

just punch in the numbers.

However, imo semi auto and boltaction have different ballistics. Same with different barrel lengths.

Velocity is what determines trajectory, not action type or barrel length.

rimfire, 200 yards? you gotta be kidding me. damned bullets fall outta the air after 101m. :rolleyes:

200 yards is not difficult with a rimfire..

So what effects velocity?
Mmmmmmm possibly the action and barrel length.

The loss in a semi auto is negligible and 22 lr retains 94% of it's velocity going from an 18" barrel down to a 8-9" barrel, so length is a moot point as well. In fact, the difference between an 18" and a 16"(the two popular lengths in Canada) is less than 3% for most common ammo. But you're right, barrel length does have an effect on velocity. Once you've determined the velocity of the projectile the trajectory is the trajectory. With a minimum deviation between barrel lengths it is safe to say that the ballistics will be very similar regardless of barrel length.

ETA: found this tidbit on rimfire central.

The measured velocity difference between my bolt action Kimber bolt action and my Kidd was 19 fps average with the same lot of match ammo.
That is about 1.7% difference and smaller than the maximum difference between the fastest and slowest measured rounds using the Kidd rifle.

The standard deviation for the bolt action was 6.4 versus 10.1 for the Kidd.

I welcome you out to my place. Shoot same ammo out of a 10/22, 15-22 a btvs and whatever you have @ 200yds with a 50yd zero.
I think youll be surprized

That's right.
My .22-s are zeroed @ 50 yards but I regularly shoot @ 200 yards at my range. With the right compensation, I can hit the chain that holds the steel target @ 200 yards (CZ 452 Varmint, Vector Sentinel 4-16x50). Depending on the wind and ammo I'm using, I hit the chain 2-4 times out of 10.
 
I wrote an Android app for that:

The graphics only go out to 100, but the table goes further. Not much good on small displays though.

Most trajectories are for 50 yard. I'm curious how the bet flies if scope is zeroed at longer distances

57.8" drop @ 200yrds if zeroed for 50yrds, will be a 57.8" high @ 50yrds if zeroed for 200yrds.

Did the stickied ballistic charts not help a bit?

If you read them, they pretty much tell you everything with a little figuring.
 
Varies for ammo obviously. Mini mags drop a lot less the SV.Stingers even less. I only use HV when shooting over 100yds.
