How far have you shot a 22

[grauhanen]

Once I figured out the elevation, I was able to get a 2" group at 200 with my cz455 Evo.

Frame that one. You probably won't see many others like it with your rifle.

It will depend on what the target is made whether the bullet will bounce off the target at 800 yards.

CCI Stinger (32 grain) rounds are moving at about 352 fps at 800 yards, with CCI Mini Mags (40 grain) are doing about 487 fps. The Stinger has 9 foot pounds of energy, while the Mini Mags have 21 fpe.

For further comparison, a Winchester Super-X LRN 40 grain round will be 521 fps at 800 yards with 24 foot pounds of energy. A standard velocity CCI SV 40 grain bullet will be about 431 fps at 800 yards with 16 foot pounds of energy.

Clearly the Stinger is the most anemic round at longer distances. But even at 8 fpe it's still enough to be quite dangerous.

People always underestimate .22's. I've seen a .22 round go through thick plywood, then in and out of a garage at point blank lol. Too many people think they aren't that lethal. Wise guys loved .22 pistols, quite and did the job lol.

On a very calm morning a couple of years ago, I shot three consecutive 5-shot groups at 200 meters
The largest of the 3 groups measured 13/16", C to C, which was about as good as it gets. Dave.

If anybody else but a very select few posted this I would call outright Bull pucky, but from you Id bet the farm. Thats impressive shooting Dave! I didnt stay at a Holiday Inn last night either

my best is 400 yards, almost impossible to hit the target with any wind.

 

[MosinNagantM44]

200m

 

[springfield armoury]

240 m but on a 19.88"H x 11-1/2"W steel target though

 

[frumpy]

400 yards, hoping to try pushing it out to 500 yards soon

I've never shot past 200m with a .22 but I got this awhile ago and want to see what it can do. I'll be changing out the scope at some point. It has never had a round through it since new.

Nice 541, beauty unit. The bugger should shoot well.

 

[silverfoxdj]

200 yards on a very good day

I believe it should shoot well from what I've read about them.

I was about 6 years old when I shot my .22 at a target a mile away... the target was an empty huge freshly summer fallowed field on a hillside facing our farm... I was looking for the 'hit' ... a puff of dust...

No luck seeing anything...

I regularly shot gophers out to about 125 yards.

 

[Wizzerd]

Interesting thread as I just picked up a Savage B22 FV-SR. Still haven't shot it and have been wondering what ammo to use, quite a few options mentioned in here. Will start at 50m and work my way up from there.....

I have a 200 yard target I shot quite a few years ago with my 1950's vintage model 37 Remington that is ten shots into a group that measures something like 1 3/4" by 2", I'll have to try and find it .
Shot off a bench test with a 15X Lyman Super Target spot scope and RWS ammo .
