[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2623274, member: 10291"] Shooting groups/paper with a rimfire gets boring pretty fast. For the last dozen years or so, my primary off-season LR hunting/practice method(in addition to Rimfire PRS), particularly for wind management skills has been with my LR rimfire rifles. Scaling a 22 rimfire to my primarily LRH rifle(6.5x284N) is consistent and quite relational in terms of accuracy, elevation, and wind correction, with ballistic calculators/rangefinders/wind meters/methods, enabling consistent first shot hits with my rimfire to 200 yards when properly programmed. The elevation correction at 200 yards with my rimfire is near equivalent(6.5 MILS) to 1000 yards(6.5MILS) with my centerfire. The rimfire wind dope is also relative, but requires values that are 2X the relative scale due to the lower ballistic coefficient of the rimfire bullet….200Y/10MPH wind at 2.6MIL(rimfire); 1000Y at 1.3MIL(centerfire). As in LRH with centerfires, it is necessary to apply the same variables with the rimfire to to achieve consistent results, ie.BC, Velocity, AP, etc. It’s great practice and hard to beat the convenience, low cost, and endless supply of small pests to hone the LRH skills with first shot hits out to 200 yards with a rimfire in the off-season.
