[QUOTE="4th_point, post: 347591, member: 13585"] I've been using a 22lr for practice for awhile now. I have a CZ Varmint with single-set trigger, 20 moa rail, and 20x Super Sniper. I can get a little over 300 yards with the elevation turret using bulk pack ammo (36gr). With stingers I can get to ~400 without using holdover. I'd have to check my notes, but I think I used a BC of 0.1. My favorite time to shoot is when the ground is dry since the dry dirt allows me to spot my shots easily. I shoot at a very steep hillside from 100 to 300 yards, and randomly choose informal targets like rocks, clumps of dirt, chunks of wood, etc. Reading the wind and shooting at 300 yards is really a lot easier than you would think. I literally spend hours and hours shooting like this, and with a bolt action the ammo lasts a long time. After shooting a 22lr at 300+ yards it makes me want to "push the envelope" into the blazing fast realm of the 22 magnum, or... 22 Hornet! One last thing... there are some rimfire tactical matches in Cali and probably other places, and snipershide has a rimfire forum. You can also find rimfire tactical targets that you can print. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
