Just wondering, how feasible is it to get consistent hits past 100 yards with a scoped .22lr in general? My setup is a stock ruger 10/22 with a 2.5-10x mil dot scope, and I plan to use Eley 40 grain@1080fps subsonic match ammo for the longer shots.
Looking at a basic trajectory calculator with the above load and a 50 yard zero, it looks like I can holdover less than 6 mils all the way out to 175 yards. Assuming a non-windy day, or almost no cross-wind, couldn't I make at least consistent torso hits from 150 to 200 yards?
From what I hear, you can forget any level of accuracy past 125 yards with the high velocity .22lr loads, as when the bullet goes transonic it messes with the accuracy.
