How Far Will a 22 Kill? Part II

In this video, we take the "How Far" concept to extreme long range with the diminutive 22LR. We use the Vudoo Gun Works Three60 setup with an Element Nexus 5-20x50mm FFP optic and a TacomHQ Macro Charlie Tarac to get us out to 677 yards. Will the 22LR have enough energy to pass the "pine board test" at long range? Find out with us.

Standard velocity is subsonic, thus does not destabilize when dropping below the sound barrier, which means it is more accurate at longer ranges.

22 magnum would be interesting to see how far it would reach out. It's a nasty lil caliber.

[@nicholascapozzi1613]

It is actually less accurate. The round crosses transonic barrier pretty close up 200yards. Keeping it close to subsonic the 22lr is a better distance round.

[@Dav-S5658]

In my experience, the 22 mag is much less accurate than other rimfires like the .17 HMR and the 22LR shooting standard velocity. Within it's accuracy envelope though, is very deadly! It is one of the most overlooked cartridges out there for defensive purposes. Forget about the pistols though, it is a rifle cartridge. Out of a short barrel you are better off using .22 LR.

[@Ironpine27]

@@Dav-S5658 Quite the contrary actually, 22lr out of a pistol is nothing compared to 22mag, which is surprisingly effective coming out of a short barrel. Penetration is nearly three times better, potentially making 22wmr hollow points a viable self-defense cartridge, whereas a 22lr hollow point's penetration would be too pitiful to trust your life to.

[@wildrangeringreen]

@@nicholascapozzi1613 depends on the rate of twist and consistency of the ammunition (like with .22LR, most .22WMR rifles are twisted to just barely stabilize the bullets they'e shooting, and marginally stable projectiles have more issues with turbulence than properly stabilized ones do). There really aren't any commercially loaded .22WMR match-quality loads out there, since the cartridge was meant to be a hunting cartridge. Because it is transonic at a relatively short range (compared to most smokeless cf rifle cartridges), it has trouble competing with standard velocity .22LR at the normal distances .22LR competitions are held at. The added velocity does help overcome wind and atmospheric variations at longer range (500-1000 yards), however; and that is where .22WMR is better than a .22LR. The added velocity comes with it's drawbacks (even when talking about .22LR HV), you just have to decide if they're worth it to get the benefit of better trajectory and reduced wind drift, ect at the distances you're shooting (.22LR HV isn't really worth it, IMO, but it's what's commonly available). There are several vids out there of people hand loading .22WMR to shoot 1000 yards, and having good success with it.

Outstanding shooting! Just amazing how far things have come in the way of long range. I will say having the right tools is an absolute must. Range finder for unmarked, not predetermined distance is of utmost importance. Wind is your most challenging. Wind at position across 600 to 1200 yards and at target differ at times.

I have an old Winchester single shot .22 caliber bolt action rifle, with a 27" barrel. In my youth, I prided myself with the accuracy and the distance I could get with lead jacketed ammo. The best I managed was breaking a beer bottle at the town dump within two shots. I duplicated the distance a total of four times, (8 shots) ... a distance of 140 yards, with iron sights. That rifle has been legendary in that I once took it with me while a friend was hunting dove in season with a 410 shotgun. He laughed about me bringing my .22 while he was dove hunting. I lifted it, fired a shot into the air, in the direction of a dove flying across the sky .... and hit it, knocking it out of the air. It was stupid to be firing a .22 into the air ... but I wasn't too concerned as we were in the middle of the desert with the closest structure, probably 30 miles away.

Back in the late 80s I had a subscription to guns and ammo magazine I can remember an article showing a guy hitting a target at 1 mile with a .22 caliber.

[@eddiejennejr4342]

Absolute awesome video. I’d like to see what you could do with a Ruger precision bolt action rifle chambered in 22 LR or a Ruger 1022 that has been accurized.

OMG the speaker phone setup. That's some Cajun Engineering FTW.

The lesson re: heavy bullets at modest velocity has been re-confirmed by generation after generation since rifles (even smoothbore muskets) were used in war. If you'd like a good PhD level education on the subject, the writings of Elmer Keith & John Linebaugh can't be beat. The short version "In external ballistics, velocity is a constantly diminishing variable. Caliber and bullet weight are constant." Once lead is up to velocity, it is HARD to slow down!!

[@bearkawiboy6246]

What about trajectory, drift and impact area, Not constant either 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@bearkawiboy6246 its about if IT can kill. not if YOU can kill. your aim has no effect on the question being asked.

Glad you finally got to do it.

I love this channel. But every time I see Chad with a wedding band on I am forever perplexed that he was able to swindle some poor lady into matrimony.

[@robertmcmahon1221]

i would not have believed this, just being told of the bullets capability had I not seen it. Wonderful job guy's

[@marckcarbonelloifveteran410]

Great video beating the myth that 22Lr is the same as a BB gun.

[@hrbricker]

I particularly like this manner of testing. Having viewed several of your "Lethal Impact" videos I have a much better 'feel' for the usability of various cartridges. Thanks for your effort.

[@inoname99]

Lets get on with it. Thank you..

I think Chad did a great job explaining what happened in this video. Environmental changes and such.

[@topshelfscrublords8595]

I heard the bugs going and didn’t know wether it’s my bugs or yours. Considering we share a state it was the same thing with it without headphones

Very informative! Removes some myths. I liked

[@OhioGentlemenArms]

You guys and MAC have the best breakdowns.

[@lamedisease]

It's crazy how such small changes at these ranges affect a .22 LR. A fairly standard shot for any larger center fire rifle. One of the reasons .22 LR is a fun round. Really can work on marksmanship with shorter ranges.

[@benswann5374]

That's on hell of a 22!
