[QUOTE="frankg, post: 5592, member: 256"] Max, hmmmm,maybe you are right about my distances being too short. I even kind of thought the same thing myself after writing it. I was thinking along those lines because I was thinking rabbits and squirrels. They are pretty small. I have never shot a coon with anything let alone a rimfire.But they are a bit bigger than a rabbit. I was also thinking about what I believe average hunters are capable of hitting with their rimfire. So...maybe 100yds for long range and 200yds for ultra? I have made hits out to 400 on things as small as golfballs but never consistently. I have hade consistent success at 200 under the best of conditions,but even when the wind seems dead calm it blows the bullets around. Maybe 100yds and 250yds? I don't know.Somebody else make a suggestion.I think we need more opinions to get a better idea of what other peoples experiences have been. [/QUOTE]
