.22 LR at 366 Yards

[Zubtec]

Hi from Sydney, Australia.

First post on this forum. Some wonderful stuff on here!

Thought I'd share some shooting from my Savage MKII TR. A couple of months ago I stretched its legs to 366 yards. At that distance, there is over 6.5 metres of bullet drop from a 50 yard zero! I dialled 50 MOA (maxed out the scope) and held 17 MOA. Wind was between 4 and 6 MOA. Time of flight of bullet is ~1.34 seconds and it takes ~2.3 seconds for the sound of a hit to reach us (after shot).

Video shows 5 from 5 on the steel plate at 366 yards/335 metres and then a bottle at the same distance. This is all near Sydney.

Rifle set up is in the video description.

that's the nice thing about the time of flight, you can catch a sandwich and a shave before you hear the ping.


good shooting.

Cheers mate.

Also managed to ascertain the group from the video (HD is a wonderful thing!)

Think it looked like this:

The 5-shot group is about 5.25 inches, not terribly impressive. But 4 shots landed within 3.25 inches of each other, just over 0.85 MOA.
