[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 654902, member: 34084"] I've been practicing long range shooting with a 22LR target rifle at 100-200 yds using subsonic ammo. Other than the rifle and scope, I use the same equipment as I use for LR shooting. I stuffed lead into the rifle stock to get the weight up to 10.5 lbs. I also set up a wireless weather station about 25 yds down range so that can get wind temp and direction. I'm still tinkering with equipment - I may change the rifle. I use this equipment to practice the mechanics of estimating wind, doping the shot, up hill/down hill, holding the rifle, breaking the shot, etc. Elevation and wind hold offs for a subsonic 22 LR at 200 yds are similar to a typical LR centerfire caliber at 600-1000 yds. I can set up, fire 30-50 rounds, and then pack up in about 90 min. Ammo cost is $5-10. Gas costs more. [/QUOTE]
