Farthest hits with a bolt .22lr?

A stump, maybe 12x12", in the middle of a deserted lake at 465 lasered yards with no wind. It took about 10 shots to figure out the hold over but after that it was 9 out of 10 and I called the miss. Savage FVSR, Bushnell 3200 5-15x40 in a pillared TR stock using CCI SV.
 
I've read more than once that .22LR at 200 yards or so is great practice for shooting .308 at 400 and 500. Apparently they share similar wind effects.

I haven't tried at Mission's 300 yard range but I've set up steel at 200 and had fun hitting or trying to hit it depending on the rifle and ammo. One time I set a 3 inch steel pistol target out at 200 and tried to nail it with my Cooey 600. It was partly me and partly not having found out what ammo it really likes but I was only able to hit it about one time in four. Sure stirred up the sand just around it though. And I think I saw the darn target step to the side a few times just a little when it thought I wasn't looking.... :d
