[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2473342, member: 103947"] My range is 500 yards. Years ago we shot our .22 RF rifles at 500 with some decent results. We used steel plates and while not every shot hit the steel plate, they all hit the backstop once zeroed. We could cold bore hit that backstop each time out. That was a 36"x36" sheet of drywall. Took a while to dial our rifles but once they were dialed, it was fairly easy to hit that target and often hit the 12" plate. Tried this a few weeks ago with no success. I'd definitely need more time to dial in my rifle. Just couldn't seem to hit the backstop that time out. Once temps warm up, I'm going to research my drop and dial for it rather than the hold over I used this past time out. It's a hoot hitting steel plates or targets at that range with a .22 RF. Bullets are harmless at that range but they do leave holes in drywall and remove white paint on the plates. [/QUOTE]
