Agree with you. In any practical sense it’s not happening. But if you set up conditions to allow for the vertical drop, then it could come close. Let’s say you fired with no shooting angle off a high cliff overlooking a canyon, or 3500 ft up a mountain — so that the round could continue dropping until the horizontal vector lost all its momentum — then that distance would be over 2000 yards for a 40gr Mini-Mag leaving the muzzle at 1235 FPS.A .22lr of any kind is absolutely incapable of traveling 1.5 miles... Deadly and often underestimated sure but science calls BS on that.
Good for you.I can shoot farther than most any gun will travel under any reasonable circumstances off my back deck. I don't need charts or videos to tell me .22lr can't go that far. The farthest shooting .22 I have found is 40grn Mini-Mags, if I aim at a ridiculous angle they go about 1200m with wild variation in where they land.
Gotta do it after a week of dry weather to have any hope of figuring out where they end up. I haven't found any lot of Velocitors that are going any faster than the 40gr Mini-Mags, so they actually fall quite a bit shorter. I am guessing they have a lower BC due to the profile.
Just tying to share information but it seems the delicate flower won’t have it, then hides behind jethunter. Like I said, good for you.Geez did I hurt your feelings? Jethunter had it right, people need to spend more time doing stuff than speculating or basing opinion off of videos.
I worked in a small private slaughter house back in the 1980ties . they had ballpein hammers a sledgehammer and an old Cooey single shot 22 on the wall . they had to purchase ammo from the government to use in the 22 . I might have a round of it kicking around . it was just a lead round nosed bulled . kind of a weird configuration I had nor have ever seen again . I dropped a couple or steers with that 22 . not a nice place to work .
No, you couldn’t be more wrong. I think the lawyer had exactly in mind the furthest distance the bullet could travel under any possible circumstance. That’s how lawyers think, and rightly so. The number they came up with matches almost exactly what the graph I posted says.I doubt the lawyer had people in planes or on mountains in mind when they came up with that number.
