Shooting 22LR at 1000 Yards

[@isaactrujillo76]

They’re not necessarily tumbling. But they are definitely coming down at a steep angle. Actually that first round looked exactly how you’d expect at that angle!

[@prairiepucker9392]

If I recall correctly, a .50 BMG has a mid-flight trajectory height ~30 or so feet above line of sight at 1000 yards. Given the .22's much slower velocity and poorer ballistic coefficient, it's max height must be much more. 100 feet???

[@isaactrujillo76]

@@prairiepucker9392 yeah it’s got to be pretty high. Also depends on cartridge, bullet, rifle and barrel length. Temperature, obviously low here elevation and the like.

[@mattprice37664]

@@prairiepucker9392 it doesn’t have but a fraction of the weight obviously. That is what makes the 50 a tough shot once you get past that magic distance….she just wants to fall out of the sky! They also call it double gravity distance!

[@nonsibi1087]

Yes, that's quite correct. The spinning longitudinal axis (lengthwise) tends to maintain the orientation of the bullet at the angle of launch from the muzzle. So, it'll strike at the same angle relative to the horizontal. Artillery projectiles do the same thing. Arrows do not since they are actually flying guided by a tail.

[@isaactrujillo76]

@@nonsibi1087 thanks for the information!

[@benjigray8690]

Thanks for making the video I can't remember the number of times that I've argued with "Know it all/ know nothing folks" about just how powerful the ol' .22 LR round is. The .22 is one of the most under rated rounds, and yet in the hands of a good shooter, they are deadly. They're not to be underestimated! You guys sure proved just how far that little bit of powder can fling that small bit of lead, truly awesome!

[@peelreg]

The bullet is not tumbling. It is spinning at high RPM and has gyroscopic stability. The bullet is a little gyro. When the bullet arcs over and comes down at that steep angle, the change of angle causes the gyro to precess to the side. So the bullet hits with a sideways aspect. If the twist is fast, the higher RPM will cause the bullet not to arc over. It will hold the high angle it was shot at, and come down, very nose high.

[@charliesiempelkamp511]

This is one of the coolest videos I have ever watched. At first, I was really impressed with the drone footage, which was really impressive. But you got more cool footage in one video than I think I've ever seen before. Thanks for posting this video!

that muzzle vel is understated if anything due to cold. add to that the dense, cold air slowing the bullets faster still and this is even more challenging than the distance suggests.

From Leo: Looked like a fun experiment. I am amazed that any found that target. That is more like bombardier than a rifleman. I am a National class PALMA competitor and I know what it takes to get 15 out of 15 shots of 7.62 ammo into a 10 inch target ring at 1000. To attempt it with a .22 rimfire took a lot of work, The wind drift must have been huge. I salute your efforts.

[@jonathanlunger2775]

As someone who is interested but knows nothing, do you think it being on a lake, tucked down between two hills would keep the wind drift down or make it worse?

[@barbmelle3136]

@@jonathanlunger2775 A lot depends on the direction of the wind. An uneven swirling wind is far harder to compensate for than even a heavy constant wind. A 9mph wind from the left for two hundred yards followed by something different for 300 yards and different again after that is really tough. Add to that the elevation they had to use adds that variable. Wind 6 feet from the ground is different than the wind 25 feet off the ground. Their experiment was a tough exercise.

[@tonynudl3105]

Looks like you guys were having so much fun. Too cold for me though. The only ice I see comes out of the freezer

[@cashcarter7013]

Cold air is thicker hence more drag on projectile equal lower fps equal lower degree of accuracy due to gravitational pull. Shell brass was cold enough to stop powder from burning as hot thus slightly retarding powder rate of burn equals less volatility due to a more stable propellant.

[@pesticlespete8399]

Nice work guys. The angle you assumed the bullets hit however is actually opposite…the bullets, as long as they stay stable, struck the target at the same angle as the barrel when they exited the muzzle. If you ever wander down a centrefire rifle range at the longer ranges you will notice bullets on the ground that hit base edge first then flip and bend the tip of the bullet. This is why a lot of WW2 shells didn’t go off as at really long rang they hit side on or base first NOT tip first ! 😀

[@imeprezime1285]

Incorrect. Most of the shells fired at launching angle up to 80°, strike ground nose first

17 hmr sheds velocity faster than a stripper being paid in benjamin's. It might start off at 2500, but that 'flat' velocity is only relative to a rimfire. It drops velocity faster than the .22 lr.

[@foxtrap8826]

I'm very familiar with Wolf ammo. Judging by my experiences with it, the rounds that were found laying undamaged on the ice, most likely just ran outta gas before they got to the target. No surprise to me that you got some tumbles, although it's hard to tell how much of that, vs. the slant of the target gets the blame. Very interesting test though! Thanks!

My thoughts as well. Was it tumbling or just the angle that it hit the target. Following the trajectory of the bullet seems to match the angle of the tip of the bullet. Only guessing by watching the video

i'm impressed, really impressed. ive seen other vids where a 22lr was shot at 300-500 yards but nothing like this. equally impressive was that at that extreme range the bullet still hit hard enough to mushroom like that. and that makes me wonder about something. i read somewhere that the military says that a projectile must be able to penetrate 1/2 inch of some kinda wood to cause a lethal wound. i dont know what kinda wood that is, but if you can find out, and if you have the inclination to do this feat again except use the wood as a target instead of the metal, it would be interesting to see of the little 22 could kill at 1000

[@johnnymccann5607]

I could be wrong but it i remember the history of it before the government switched from black powder- cordite - smoke less powder on their proving grounds they would set 1 inch board of hardwood, shooting at various distances till it would not penetrate and that was maximum effective range. I don’t know how many years they did that. we do know they for sure they did thousands of live animal testing. a well knowledges man to me the wound even shoot mules to see how far it would kill them and how far it would mortaly wound them . I have no proof about the mules. but it makes sense to me. as a reloader and rifleman of 42 years I always can’t wate for gun season because I my state of NC you can use any legal weapon you want during deer rifle season . rifles , shotguns , any pistols and no min barrel measurements or caliber except 22 that can be used to dispatch a winded durning archery seasons. that’s prime time to test your self defense ammunition to see in side the deer what damage it reall does with hide , bone , meat , you get the picture. you don’t have to take your deers to check them in, just call 1-800- I got one . call follow instructions get the appropriate numbers to put on lesicence within 24 hours of the kill . that’s one of the many reasons I love calling NC home. nana and papa aka the hunter from the foothills of the blue ridge mountains in NC wishing you well

I like this idea. Shooting fast means you're shooting in as similar conditions as possible, although barrel temps might affect things.

Cool video guys! I’ve got a CZ455 American with interchangeable barrels .22LR and .22Mag myself; CZ makes an awesome gun. ☝️ Your bonus video was a great addition too. I can deduce this was in Canada by your YT home location but it would be nice to know the rough location a little closer (Canada is a big place). We have a few 1K yard ranges here in Texas but it’s generally a question of fighting the heat, not the cold. 🤠

he lives out in southern Ontario if I remember right and it looks like he's in south Ontario for this video

4ft aluminum plate you mean road sign right?

[@mattedwards4533]

I have never shot a .22 cal. over 250 yards but my Anschutz put five in a pie plate at that distance? I don't think I could hit anything at a thousand yards?

Pure fun to watch! Cheers guys! I'm from Quebec... I also shoot in the snow every winter!

Excellent effort👍. Shooting the Wimbledon Cup 1000 yard any sight match at the National Matches at Camp Perry. Sometimes 308's would come in at such a extreme angle and loss of energy they would not penetrate the cardboard holding the paper target and bounce down into where the pit crew would be standing. Magnums on the other hand came in at a very flat trajectory with a crack so loud you needed ear protection.

Absolute rubbish. A typical .308 load for 1000 yards still has nearly 1100 ft lbs of energy left at 1000. And you’re trying to say it bounces off cardboard???? Oh dear. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@ryan976david Pal, I didn't say it happened ALL the time!!!.I said "SOMETIMES , SOMETIMES "and I didn't say it was Chinese cardboard. Figure out how many minutes of angle a 308 needs at a 1000 yards and the angle they are coming in at the target. They drop about 30 feet and lose more then 50% of their energy. So its dropped from about 2700 foot pounds at the muzzle to about 500+ Ft Lbs. Sometimes they even key holed, it happens. I don't know how many times you were at Camp Perry. I spent 22 consecutive years shooting NRA high power and Long Range matches and pulling targets in the pits. So kiss my ass.
