How Accurate Are .22 Rounds At 100 Yards?

In the latest “Roy’s Insider Tips” video, American Handgunner Publisher Roy Huntington continues his ongoing quest to discover and share the accuracy, versatility and fun of shooting .22 rounds. In this segment, Roy examines the capabilities of Anschütz bolt–action rifles in .22 LR and .22 Magnum using a variety of ammunition out to 100 yards.

“Even today, after over 50 years of shooting, I can still smile broadly when I have a .22 in my hands,” Roy explains. “It’s not just the memories, but the fact you can have more fun than might be allowed and hardly spend any money doing it!”

In testing varied rifle and ammunition combinations, Roy discovers some interesting possibilities on the use of these two rifles for small-game hunting at longer ranges.

“I think many shooters tend to think of .22’s as short-range propositions,” Roy says. “Some of that comes from cheap rifles and handguns, but much of this notion comes from the fact many people simply don’t take the time to learn to shoot well. At many levels, wringing out the best accuracy from a good .22 rifle at 100 yards is a mini-course in how to become a better rifle shooter. And, there’s something very satisfying about watching those tiny bullets cluster into small groups — almost by magic — ‘way out there’!”

“Roy’s Insider Tips” videos are in response to American Handgunner and GUNS Magazine reader questions, ideas and challenges. In next week’s video Roy takes his Anschütz .22 Magnum out to 200 yards — getting surprising results.

CCRKBA Blasts Anti-Gun Dems for “Pouring Gas on Grassroots”

BELLEVUE, WA – Anti-gun Capitol Hill Democrats just couldn’t resist further provoking the nation’s law-abiding gun owners with yesterday’s renewed push to ban ammunition even after the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives had temporarily stepped back from such a proposal on Tuesday, and it’s time for the public to smack them down hard, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“Even though BATF moved its ammunition ban proposal to the shelf, Democrats started lobbying the Obama administration to push forward with a ban just as we expected,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “New York Congressman Eliot Engel has introduced legislation, and others Capitol Hill want BATF Director B. Todd Jones to “use his ‘existing authority’ to keep ‘dangerous ammunition out of our communities,’ according to a report in The Hill.

“What do the Democrats hope to achieve, other than to keep 90 million gun owners hopping mad,” Gottlieb wondered. “This push merely reinforces the notion that Democrats are the party of gun control hysteria, and that while they claim to support the Second Amendment, they’re determined to erode it every way possible.

Lehigh Defense .300 Whisper Ammo

 

  Lehigh Defense announces the addition of a seventh technology (CQ) to our growing list of Projectile Technologies. Yes, E=MCSq and it is a beautiful thing. Double the bullet weight and the energy doubles. Double the velocity and the energy quadruples. How can you beat that? We design the world’s most innovative projectiles, that is what we do and the center of this passion is science, not voodoo, science. Lehigh has harnessed old Al’s work on energy equivalency and channeled it to a new bullet technology; we are calling Close Quarters (CQ).

This technology utilizes hyper velocity to effectively transfer enormous energy to the target based on mass-energy equivalence. Lightweight, high energy projectiles using powdered metal and plastic binders have been done before. Instead of fragmenting the bullet to dust upon impact, Lehigh has designed specific densities for the fractured petals providing applicable penetration and an effective energy transfer. Read more
