22 Mag Bullet Drop - Demonstrated and Explained

[@hoppinjohn6993]

I carry a 22 mag on my 4 wheeler for all my chores on the farm. The handiest round ever made.

[@OscarGomez-oo7im]

As a lover of the .22 WMR, I have a couple of suggestions for the readers of this post. The first one is that as with every rimfire ammo you have to find the round that your rifle handles properly. This means that tests have proved that the rifles including rifles being from the same manufacturers and models prefer different brands, weights and designs of bullets. My actual .22 WMR rifle is a Savage Mod. 93 bought years ago to replace an ancient Marlin. This Marlin was good enough to hunt in distances up to 90 - 100 yards making heads shots on small game and turkeys with CCI maximax 40 gr. HP... When I bring in the Savage I try to use the same ammo but at 100 yards the groups average 4.5 inches... After testing around 8 or 9 different brands of ammo, was clear that the only one I can use expecting groups below 1 inch was the 40 gr. Winchester Super X JHP. After some adjusting to the scope, I obtain a rifle ready to shoot 1.5 groups at 120 yards. This is not free advertising for Winchester... Maybe in your rifle it won't perform this way... Another point, due to the loss of speed in the bullet and its low weight, on too windy days do not spect miracles... Anything over 120 yards will be treated with a Savage 110 Classic in .243. Let us be real, .22 WMR is a wonderful cartridge, economic, the rifle is very light... But " a man has to know its limitations"... Remember this quote ???

[@AntonyLD]

Great post Oscar. All my testing $$$ if I bench rest with my Weirauch best group is 1" at 150m with Horny 30gn . LOVE my wmr

[@wildcatindustries8030]

I love my .22WMR so much I’ve made it my primary shooter at the range. I also fell in love with the Savage 93 I just put a .17HMR on layaway for Christmas. These little rimfire magnums stole my heart for target shooting and pest control

[@oncall21]

That first three shot group @ 100 yards with the Norma showed excellent accuracy. Shows you don't have to spend crazy money to have an accurate 22 Magnum. I have my CZ sighted in to be dead on at 100 yards as that's as far as I will use it on rabbits and foxes. At 200 yards I'll choose the .223. Great video again and thanks for sharing Adam!

[@mrhamsam243]

I love being being able to see the round in the playback footage at 200 yards

[@CompuSatTech]

try the Remington accu-tips 33gr. highest ballistic coefficient of any 22 wmr round

[@chrishill1286]

I got the Kel Tek CMR 30 carbine a couple years ago and holy crap this thing is accurate. Trust the old man, try these Fiocchi 40 JSP rounds at 1910 fps. Now I did put the fake suppressor (barrel shroud) on the carbine and bought several manufacturers ammunitions to start out with. The Fiocchi was one hole at 25 yds, one hole at 50 yards, and moa at 100 yards! All day long. Now I put the Arken Zulus on there and This is my favorite toy in the safe period!

[@jimkemp566]

Thanks, that was a eye opener, I quit using any cartridges in the 22's since I bought my first CCI in the mid to late sixties. I have found that they seem to work, and don't really care whiter I am shooting them out of semi auto pistols or lever or bolt action rifles. I just trust CCI!!! Thanks again!!! Tie

I just landed on this older video of yours because we got the boy a Savage 93 for Christmas and I wanted to see what all you were doing with yours. Great video and now I am more aware of the limitations of the 93.22 magnum. Thanks for the "new" content!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching!

[@frankensteincreations4740]

You go past 100 yards you need a 17 hmr. What I like about the 22 mag is it’s cheap, we’ll use to be cheap. And most people don’t realize, it has very close energy to a 9x19. I have a 22 mag in a bulpup. Makes for a compact close quarters little hammer.

[@leovasquez5501]

.22 mag bullpup? Sounds interesting!

[@edwardcrawley5985]

I fell in love with a Marlin bolt action .22 mag while stationed in N.C. back in the early 80's and not long after then I bought a couple Ruger 77/22s in. 22 mag which are awesome shooters. 9:49

[@58landman]

When used for what it's intended..... at and under 150 yards, it's a fine cartridge.

[@randyadams03]

Thanks Adam, 22 mag in a Savage good. Only. 22 mag I have is my Pmr-30. Also works and fun. Thanks crazy that you can see bullet hit at 200yrds

[@NC-xk1eg]

I don't understand the difference in drop between the Norma & the CCI but initially your scope was off, you were hitting right, so everything off to the right makes sense. In .22 LR I always shoot 40 grains. In .22 WMR I always shoot 30 grains. In .17 HMR I always shoot 20 grains.. but that's just me. Keep up the great work!

[@91CavGT5]

I was shooting out to 200 yards with a .22 Long Rifle Ruger Charger with using CCI Mini Mags and was having to aim about 3’ above a steel siloughette to get a ring.

[@rick-kx7gy]

1000 yard drop of those 40 gr. CCI's would be about 222 & 1/2 feet . Serious Kentucky windage . Check for power lines & small aircraft before that holdover .

[@hokehinson5987]

Bought a model 93 heavy barrel this past Xmas in WMR. Though this round has been around since 1959 had never had experience. It's really enjoyable to shoot very accurate yet wish it was a little cheaper for ammo.

[@Harry-O]

My marlin XT-22 mag loves the CCI and so do I. Winchester boolots not so much. Interesting how the bullet takes a dive at 200+ yards. Another awesome video. Thanks Got a chuckle at the background noise at your home. Lol.

[@russellkeeling4387]

I had a winchester .22 mag case blow out the side of the rim and screw up my semi auto remington. I was able to fix the rifle and I don't use those winchester rounds any longer. They were some kind of light weight bullet that was supposed to be a super round. They were special all right, it caused small pieces of the bolt to fly all over the place.

[@jamesschneider2091]

I just picked up a Savage Model 93 FV (same rifle - heavy varmint bbl.). Straight out of the box after mounting a 2-7X 1" tube . . . I'm consistently grouping 1/2-3/4" 5 shot groups at 100 yds off solid two point bench rest with CCI 40-gr. MAXI JHP & REM 40-gr. PSP. My rimfire answer for varmints and turkeys out to 150 yds. w/rest and low cost with mild barrel wear for fun at the range. I could've bought the same rifle in .17 HMR but wasn't tempted . I look forward to trying a variety of ammo when supply catching up with demand - hopefully sooner than later. Video sheds useful light on the .22 MAG and a lot of rifle for the $.

[@hoosierplowboy5299]

Good comparison, whotee. I had a .22 Mag back in the day, mostly for groundhogs. My best shot was rolling a running gh at about 50 yards. Sold it ( Mossberg) to a friend about 30 years ago who had to have it...

[@WHOTEEWHO]

[@ronnieb7408]

I shoot the 22lr at distances up to around 250 yds pretty regularly for fun. Was interested in getting a 22mag just haven't done so with the ammo scarcity we had lately. The long rifle drops around 40 inches at 200 and if I do my part will group inside of a pie plate with Winchester aammo(not match stuff) The mag has significant more power at that distances but not enough aerodynamics to perform like the .17s .Good shooting on your part there, about as good as the rimfires are capable unless match rifle and ammo.thanks

[@outdoorsman7437]

The drop could be wrong on the cci because you were sighted with the Norma at 100 and not the cci

[@pawcrawlowens8730]

My CZ does really good, I have old marlins that do good, but they are grandsons rifles, The CZ is my favorite all year gun, it's nasty with cci game points

[@JAB671]

To my understanding the WMR Dynapoint with its copper washed bullet (compared to the jacketed bullets of the other two) is designed to closely mimic the old .22 WRF load which is not as 'hot' as normal WMR so it won't tear small game up as much as regular WMR might.

[@fad10507]

Just ordered some Federal 22mag 50 gr JHP to do the test you just did. I have a 200yard range will be testing soon. I don't do videos but I do take notes. I did a test awhile back with sub-sonic 22 mag 45 gr at 100yards and they dropped 20" from the rounds I sighted the gun with, 40gr. Just a note I take the hogs in my trap with the sub-sonic 45 gr rounds out of a pistol.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Yup the subs drop quick

[@jlbksinger]

I love .22 Mag. I have Kel-Tec's matched set, & a Marlin 925.

[@cichlidman09]

Looks better without light in intro. Lighting looks much more natural. Keep it!

[@ravenshield7823]

It looks to me like your rifle set ups sight height, which is center of bore line to center of sight line is more like 2.25 inches and the data on the drop chart is based on 1.5 inches, a data field that you can alter. Not sure if that equates differently, but it also makes me wonder if you shot the maxi mags @ 100, like the Norma you zeroed in with, would it have been high? It's funny to me that every time we search for info or data, we are left with more real questions than answers lol, and I think this is partially because the results are often nothing like we expected. Fun video!

[@oldiron4135]

Only issue i can see with this is at 100 yrds, you should have zeroed the different cartridges for a more accurate 200 yrd test. Your 1st 100 yrd group was already down and to the right. Should have zeroed it then shot to 200 yrds. So on and so forth with the rest. Keep in mind also, 1st shot was a cold barrel which as the barrel warms up your shot placement changes.

[@MrToulonglor]

Thats a nice rifle. I wanted to say i got one also, marlin 983ss got it from Kmart back in the days $100 or so been so long. I did a custom titanium bolt knob using anarchy outdoors. Took a grinder and grind the knob off and threaded to standard 5/16x24 big improvement over the stock knob.

[@stillseeking9454]

Yes, the cci may have been higher on the target ( shot without adjusting the scope) So the published drop may be correct. Hard to know without shooting both at 100 yards. Hard to shoot much these days. .22 mag has gotten so expensive.

[@garywoodlief1976]

A 22 mag is not made to be a long distance gun like center fire rifles

[@spritual_enlightenment]

The video thumbnail showing .22WMR looks impressive. Good job.

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

Well, this explains a lot. My 22 mag is zeroed at 100. Shot a yote a couple weeks ago at about 200 yards. Held at the top of the shoulder and got it in the middle of the front leg. Shot again when he was at about 250 and missed all together.

[@jrevan]

I have a REM. 597 I’ve noticed big difference in different manufacturers also. Use Hornady v max 30g. No drop at 200yds.

[@timetohunt1]

Scope height figures into that drop so if your scope is higher or lower it will make some difference. Not sure of the height of your scope but the drop chart was for 1.5 inches. Thanks for sharing.

Wonder what the 5.7 in pistol and rifle difference would be

[@nathanlambshead4778]

That would be interesting. The 5.7 pistol's average muzzle velocity is about 400 fps less than the 22 wmr out of a rifle. But I imagine it has a better coefficient to buck wind and gravity a bit better. .

[@karlantonlillester4884]

The CCI could have a higher point of impact at 100 yards. One inch of height at 100 turns into several at 200 when the speeds are this low.

[@kevinnielsen1356]

All objects drop at the same rate regardless of thier mass (weight). The acceleration of gravity is constant. The difference between gun fired projectiles therefore is only varied by the time in flight to target. More massive projectiles loose foreward velocity at a slower rate than less massive projectiles. There is no majic or voodo to certain cartridges. A 300gr bullet and a 40gr bullet will drop the same amount when time of flight to target is the same. When shooting uphill or downhill bullet drop is reduced. Bullet drop is zero when fired straight up or down.
