Long Range 22LR

[eshell]

I shoot my suppressed 10/22 out to 400 yards. 73 MOA up from my 75 yard zero with match ammo. The consistency of the ammo becomes increasingly important as you move back and many types that shoot great at 50 yards have so much velocity variation that vertical stringing takes many/most off target.

The norma extreme is showing from 35-43 fps extreme spreads in 5-15 shot sessions. The other regular ammo i shot were 70-120 es

Try it with a Remington 513T or Mossberg 44!

I'm getting ready to try with my dad's 513T. It's from the Fifty's, free floated the barrel and going out in the next few weeks. Will post the results. I'm partial to the beautiful wood stock and gorgeous bluing.

At 200 yards, it's very easy to see that sort of (~10% of 1,050) variation and you could plot velocities by position on target.

Depending on how far you will shoot, you may need to shim the rear of your scope mount in order to get enough adjustment out of your scope. I used refrigerator magnets cut into strips to shim mine - easy to work with and held up fine.

You may want to look into NRL22 Matches. They're a lot of fun to shoot and can get challenging.

yesterday at the Nampa, Id range the nrl22 shooters were shooting a 8 inch plate at 300 yds, looked like great fun and real good wind reading practice

Good shooting. I custom built a 22 a couple of years ago to train with but a new house and projects have kept me from getting the range time I was hoping for when I built it. I read somewhere that 300 yards with 22LR is equivalent to 1700 yards with a large bore center fire. Not sure if that's true but it is definitely a challenge. Thanks for sharing.

If a person wanted to get a little more serious long range gun, what would you buy? Ruger, bergara, tika...?

I heard there may be a guy at this shoot with a custom that can shoot .5 moa at 300 yards. I'm not ready to go that far into this rabbit hole lol

It can be a SERIOUS Rabbit Hole !! Look at the Bergara and CZ 457 MTR. YouTube has some very good .22lr shooters there to watch and learn. For a lighter weight .22 I like the Tikka. Be prepared to spend around $16 a box for ammo.

I paid $20/box for the norma. Couldn't find any lapua in stock.

I've heard that Voodoo is the best available at this time. Anschutz would be another good option. Both are a bit spendy but I believe Anschutz is less than Voodoo.

For when you are VERY serious.
