9 year olds suck! 342 MOA elevation, now that's a lob.

Wow.
Holdover almost a football field.

1 MOA is 1/60th of 1 degree or about 1.047 inches.

Just hold 298.4 feet high and pull the trigger!!!
How hard could THAT be?

Subsonic Lapua ammo, at that.

yeah... I maxed out my scope and almost my reticle shooting 434yds. No hits sadly. And the RPRR has a 30MOA rail.

New concept to me.

Magic prisms!!

Look what she did at 332 yds.... That's not a lob

Good barrel.
Good action.
Good ammo.
Undoubtedly good technique, a consequence of good instruction.
Likely attempted on a low humidity still-air day.

Cool to see such an accomplishment.

All projectiles fall toward the center of the earth's mass at precisely the same rate, being subject to the constant of gravity.

Once set in motion a quality .22lr projectile, in still air, should be as accurate as any other projectile, influenced very slightly by their fall through the air.

Everything happens for a reason.
We call that reason physics.

Bless that Isaac Newton!!!

Robert_K · Dec 17, 2019

Agree HKSHOOTER. Always say it’s more likely the shooter and not the rifle.

avvidclif · Dec 17, 2019

But there's more. The fall is influenced equally on all objects, given. It depends on the time gravity has to work on the object as to how far it will drop at any given distance. IE: the inital velocity and shape of the bullet greatly influences the time gravity has to do it's thing. At a 5 second flight time the rotation of the earth factors in also. Much more to long distance shooting than dialing in 400 MOA.

We argree.

Gravity is a constant, varying inconsequentially with the variations of the distance from the center of our earth's mass.

North/South Coriolis effect becomes quite significant with a 5 second flight time.
East/West rise or fall of the earth becomes a factor. (is there a name for that effect?).

You are quite correct.
These things take on a non-insignificant factor in projectile impact point.

One of the perennial arguments is debate over the fact that ALL projectiles fall at the same rate....be it a tossed horseshoe or a 50BMG round or a 16"/50 caliber Mark 7 naval gun or a stream of effluent from your urethra.

Many shooters take exception to that Newtonian law!

All projectiles fall at the same rate unless acted upon by an outside force.
Issac Newton rules!!

The 1,000 yard .22lr hits by a pre-adolescent primate is a great demonstration of this principle.

And I was impressed with myself at 250yd... Yikes!!! I feel so inadequate now.

3' holdover from 50' elevation with a 5-6mph direct head wind. I hit it four times out of 20 rounds with my wife spotting.

My latest impulse buy...Ruger 22/45 Tactical in FDE. Might have to get me one of those new fangled pistol red dots so I can keep up with the mall ninjas at the range

.

Robert_K · Feb 16, 2020

Love that FDE 22/45!!!

Here is my RPRR, 10/22 Takedown and, Mark 4 22/45 Lite...

Range day. I did a comparison of three classic American match pistols. The results?

Fun!!!

HKShooter65 · Mar 2, 2020

Nice 22lr triad!
They all would shoot better than I could aim them.

Which one fits your hand the best?
I know asking "which is best" is a pointless exercise in individual preference.

You have the perfect "don't make 'em like they used to" trio there!!!

It's really personal preference but I liked The Victor most and found the Colt the hardest to shoot well. The grip and balance make it necessary to really concentrate on all the basics, or the shot will be pulled off, the Colt is what I consider an "unforgiving" gun.

Interested in getting a 17HMR. What’s the best one for the money? I was leaning towards the Savage A17

Good choice!

If you want a .17 that will get out there in a hurry, I would recommend the Savage .17WSM B-Mag. Very Accurate, love mine.
