[QUOTE="abinok, post: 150242, member: 16"] when I first started shooting smallbore rifle the leading theory was 50 ft subsonic 50yds supersonic 100yds subsonic These days, the preferance is pretty much subsonic for all, mainly for ths issues you outlined. Additionaly, supersonic will have more winddrift at 100 in the same crosswind than subsonic. I shoot 5 types of rimfire ammo from 3 rifles at "rimfire LR" my position rifle gets shot to 200, with wolf match subsonic, with a BC of .115 calculated poi is within a moa using this BC My critter getter gets shot to 100-150 when the need arrises, with federal subsonic, also with a BC of .115 My LR rimfire occasionally gets shot as far as 400 with either Wolf match gold (subsonic) agila subsonic sniper, or PMC scoremaster. The 40gr bullets also get calculated with a BC of .115, the 60 with a .150. These work pretty well out to 300ish, but beyond that my calcs are occasionally off by 3-4moa even after feeding the program current atmospherics... But thats something you just have to accept if you are an idiot like me thinks flinging rimfire bullets a quarter mile is a good time. Theres my .02 [/QUOTE]
