That group with a .22LR with a scope is difficult. The round is fairly ineffective at that range and you will have to arc it pretty heavily. Most rounds go subsonic within 100 yards. Its not an easy bet with .223, trying it with .22 is just silly. Better hope for absolute zero wind. ---

This is from an NRA match I shot in August of last year. Itā€™s an official 200 yard smallbore rifle target, fired from the prone position (sling, no rest). Fired with a Winchester 52B match rifle, with Federal Gold Medal Match (900b) ammo. Fired 20 shots, with 14 in the 10 ring (4 xā€™s). The first 5 shots were fired without checking my spotting scope for a sight correction ā˜¹ ![http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs008.snc1/2860_643790012648_15717134_37682917_7966391_n.jpg](http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs008.snc1/2860_643790012648_15717134_37682917_7966391_n.jpg) ![http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs008.snc1/2860_643790007658_15717134_37682916_4949267_n.jpg](http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs008.snc1/2860_643790007658_15717134_37682916_4949267_n.jpg) ---

My dad is a member at the Wood and Brook sportsmans club on genessee. He was telling me about some of the guys there that shoot competatively. With a custum built 6mm riffle some of these guys can pull off clover patterns 500+ yards. FUCKING INSANE! The next gun I buy is going to be a Winchester lever action 30-30. And I also want to pick up a .243 with a nice leupold scope. ---
