I took my longest squirrel to date on Saturday at 119 yards with a CZ 455 22lr. Little high on the first shot, but adjusted to make the second one count.
My longest this year was 62 yards and I thought that that was good. 119 yards is amazing.
Nate, heck of a shot there. Good video. I have taken two crows out of top of a pine tree on my place....both at 104 yds with a Winchester 69A LR with a 2 x 7 scope CCI Velocitor 40 gr.
Well, that’s cause it’s got three tails!That is a big skirl!!!!
I didn’t say I had only seen it tried once lol.
At the time we would get together and try to break clays on a berm at 200 with iron sights offhand. More misses than hits, but all was fun.
The rimfires are just so inconsistent at any distance. Shooting long shots takes a lot of luck with them. I imagine even from a machine, the groups would be pretty ugly.
Getcha a .17 HMR and you can go out much further.
I am range limited with my .22 lr. It wears a can, and shoots CCI standard velocity with a whisper - but has a rainbow trajectory. Dead on at 50, but massive point of impact change if you move 15 yards either way
.17 her has very little power as you get further out. Try a 2 liter bottle full of water at 200 yards. A 22 will penetrate, my 17 would only scratch the label off.
Very nice shootin!
I don’t remember what bullets they were. I was surprised. I don’t think you have but about 30lbs of energy left. The .22 will carry a touch more.
The .17 is very neat, but like most small fast cartridges, the velocity falls off quick.
