[QUOTE="jchristo1, post: 630861, member: 42418"] This is an interesting idea. I shoot 22 regularly at 50 and 100 yards to sharpen my offhand shooting for regular hunting. I hadn't thought about using it for long range. I dry fire a few times between shots when I find myself flinching with my 243. I have a Savage Model 12 with a heavy varmint barrel, so it doesn't kick as much as a lot of guns. One problem you might have at longer ranges is overall accuracy of a 22 versus the big game hunting calibers. How many MOA spread do you get at 150 yd with a 22? What about 17 HMR? That's 2550 fps muzzle, but the bullet weighs only about half of a 22 cal so wind is probably an issue. [/QUOTE]
