[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 217446, member: 7449"] [b]The MIGHTY 22LR lol. . .[/b] I've built a few 22LR rifles using Anschutz receivers and the usual medley of premium parts. While anything is certainly possible, you surely can appreciate everyone's reluctance to take your word as gospel. I did some basic number crunching using the ballistics software produced by Nightforce Optics. I'm too lazy to sit and really figure out the BC of a typical 22LR bullet so I SWAG'd a VERY optimistic .2 for the BC. I plugged in a velocity of 1250 which is just above supersonic and typical of standard velocity rimfire ammunition. With a 100 yard zero your looking at a drop of almost 1100 (1078) inches when engaging a target at 750 yards. (that's 91.67 feet). That's 110 minutes of angle. From my experience in long range shooting (palma) I can express first hand what a challenge it is to place a bullet that weighs over three times as much, has almost four times the BC and is traveling roughly 2.5 times faster, into a 10" X ring at 800, 900. and 1000 yards. So, bearing that in mind, it's not surprising for me to read everyone's skepticism. Anyone who's pulled a trigger for any length of time has almost certainly at some point connected on a "hail mary" luck shot. However I can't help but feel its a bit too enthusiastic to state the group sizes your claiming with that cartridge at that distance. I think group size that compares to "minute of drive-in movie theater screen" may be more applicable. Fun to fuss over none the less. . . Cheers.
