I have heard that when a .22 hi speed slows down to the sub sonic level at long range,, there can be a bit of wobble ---that is the reason to use standard velocity to begin with

Popped over the HHRP again yesterday. No problem ringing IPSC and other plates at 200-- with THUNDERBOLT.
I wouldn't say a target at generous as an IPSC plate at 200 is noteworthy, but thunderbolt is pretty awful at range.
Better ammo makes smaller plates pretty repeatable.
some questions I’d like to ask if you don’t mind:
- What power scope are you using
- What yardage is your zero
- are you calculating the distance and bullet drop to determine how many clicks to go from your zero to 200
- are you using the scopes crosshairs indicators to figure your drop without adjusting the scope
- What zoom level are you using
I’ve been able to stretch out to 200. Not consistently as I’d like. The last time I did I worked on keeping my 50yd zero and then playing with the zoom power so I could just barely squeeze 200 In the very bottom of the drop indicator (don’t know the term for it).
I’m using a Nikon P-Rimfire 3-9x50. If I keep the zoom at 4x I can go between 50 and 200. I started doing that because I got tired of re-zeroing my scope. I believe to get the crosshairs on center it was in the low 20’s as far as clicks.
Wow so this is what an upgraded 10/22 can do. That's very accurate for 100yds my stock 10/22 slim barrel with Eley force groups at 50 0.673 10 shot group. Your rifle does that at 100yds.
It would be great to see how it does at 200 yards. If you get the chance to hit paper out that far sometime.
Finally got to shoot my Kidd 10/22 at 200 yards today using Eley Force and SK Long Range Match. Both of the following targets are with the SK ammo.
It was not a particularly good day for it with very variable wind...cross wind, head wind and no wind for brief periods. I can't really say I got it zeroed to my satisfaction as I was always being pushed off by the breeze but here are a couple of targets. The rifle has better potential than these.
Two of the 10 shots are in the lower left corner...
Twenty shots with a few scope adjustments mixed in...
I'm hooked and will get calm conditions someday but it was interesting trying to read the wind and hold for it the few times I tried.
That bottom bull is pretty impressive. 5.5” at 200 with a .22lr is not easy.
Thanks. Started out grouping mostly in the lower right quarter, made a few scope adjustments and it moved to the upper left quarter. Moved it a few more clicks but really couldn't confirm the adjustments with the wind moving around.
One day at the range a friend told me that my 10/22, or maybe it was me, couldn’t shoot at the 200yd line. I took it as a challenge and started to practice. That quickly made me learn how to adjust the scope and get a beginners understanding of MOA.
What is the farthest you think a great 22 will shoot consistently? How far have you practiced at and what did you do to improve?
