Sorry for the hijack question...
Out to about 50-55 yards. Thing is, in .22, the trajectory is only a bit better than .177 12 FP, but the margin for error is greater as you are not restricted to only aiming for their tiny brainboxes. Add in wind and field conditions though, and 50-55 is about it - maybe 60 if everything is perfect - i.e. laser ranged, no wind, rested in the position you zeroed in, static quarry...

For context, with 12 FP 177 in field conditions, I'd say 35 yards generally, 40 max. Seeing how many misses folks get on huge 45mm KZs at 45 yards max on HFT courses when you have all the time in the world kinda confirms that 45 is too far. Most quarry KZs are half that size.
