Sub 12fpe long ranges

[racerkart]

My prefered mag vs dot ratio expires at 60yds .22 and 80yds .177. My setup allows a hit to a golf ball in winds up to 20mph with pretty much 95% success. No finger in the air just solid data.

I have two chums who learned that golf balls shoot back. Both were very lucky not to catch the retuning pellet in their eyes. Pellets come back from 40yds with enough energy to break skin and draw blood on thick sculls. They now have some interesting scars to show for the experiences.

I shoot my hunting setup at the range a majority of the time. Map6 hawke X7 mag 70-75 yard golf balls are easy meat for a benched S200 . Hit them freestanding from time to time... We have a Quality Street tin at near 80 for standing shots.. I smack that about with my .22 77..

I know of a chap who hit a Stella can at 250yd with sub 12! After seeing a woman do it on YouTube... I've not bothered to look that one up.

i only hunt so between 20-30 yards. i dont know meters. thats where my gas and leccy come from.
did get a rabbit at at nearly a quarter of a mile. me and my mate nearly had heart attacks when it fell over. but i did download chairgun and held over a lot.
nothing to be proud of but i shot a rabbit twice, or three if it counts. me and my mate were out on our tea break (understand my mukker was a copper) i shot a bunny first shot heard a hit. nothing happened. second shot it went straight down. went and fetched it and found holes through both of its ears. as i say nearly a quarter of a mile.

Quite an achievement that. Acording to Chairgun if I was firing a .22 Exact at 15.9gn at just under 12fpe and a normal zero of 30yds I would need to give it 3254in of holdover to hit the rabbit at 400yds ( Chairgun doesn't go above that on my app) and repeat that 3 times. I wouldn't try it though as Chairgun tells me that if I managed to hit the rabbit at all the pellet would only have 0.7ftlb of energy so it's more than likely your rabbit died of fright or old age waiting for the 5secs from firing to impact each time.
Not to be recommended but amazing shooting and much better hearing than I have to hear the impact of a pellet at a quarter of a mile!

i love shooting long range as its a good challenge, i hit a 10mm reduced target at 75yards 3 times in a row in a competition only to take home the cash prize alot of eye whitnesses too but the lonest range is-
range: 110 yards
target: 3 inch exploding targets
rifle: hw100 full length

[roryah]

Can anyone advise how far out the targets go at Lee Valley AGC? It's good fun going long range with sub12 springers.

[Walnut Stox]

Golf balls at 50 yards, knock-down targets at 60 yards. Unsurprisingly, I enjoy more consistency with my .177 than my .22.

[twinmaster]

Regularly shoot 75m in my garden, stretch it out to 100 m on the range. Hw100 and short stroked TX. About 40mm groups achievable once I get my eye in and weather permitting.
Wind can make things interesting out at this range.

I used my HW30 to hit a 4" square junction box cover at 102 yards. It took a half dozen shots to dial in the scope. After that I hit it 15 times consecutively. I quit at 15 figuring I'd already pushed my luck. I shoot beer cans at 100yds with it all the time. Even got my wife's girlfriend hitting one repeatedly at a hundred yards after I had it dialed in. It was a blast. She was giggling like a school girl.

I just moved to 113 acres in Arkansas. The most I can shoot here is 50 yards so far. There's a stretch of power line clearing I can get out 200 to 400 yards. Once I'm settled in I want to try 200 with some of my stronger springers.
