What is the best distance to zero a 22 rim fire scope for average purposes such as hunting squirrels?
"Mean Point Blank Range" means the range where the bullet goes above and below the point of aim by no more than X.
So did I. I also thought Mean would be the mid point, zero.Huh, I always thought it was maximum point blank range.
You're shooting a .22 rimfire 200 meters? You're a far better shot than I. I'd make sure there are no tree branches in your line of fire...that must be some trajectory.
I shoot 2 loads, one supersonic (390 m/s v0), one high-subsonic (330 m/s v0).Medusa,
Interesting. I've shot out to 100M with Wolf MT ammo. I found it drops about 5 inches or so. I'm assuming - only because I haven't tried it but having reviewed some trajectory charts - that the energy loss past 100M (200M+) would be such that the bullet drops quite a bit. Your experience shows differently. Interesting.
I would question the assertion that there's enough energy to take out guard dogs at 200M with a .22LR (unless there's a pack of guard Chihuahaus that need controlling).
