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.
