The long range cold bore shot project

[yorketransport]

I did my lazy speed read through the thread and saw some load data. Is there a thread that has actual rifle build data? I'm pretty much committed to what I am building but it isn't put together yet so there is always room for change. Any threads containing rifle builds themselves? Thanks, hope to be posting some LR vids in the near future.

There are a few threads around with build specs on some of the guns. Maybe it's worth starting one thread to just consolidate it all to one location; like the AR picture thread.

Would be a good morning for a COLD bore 

I wanted to do that last weekend but the snow got in the way! Shooting prone in 28* weather doesn't count as fun to me!

  yeah I was thinking of some shooting this weekend but it's -4° right now with a high of 20 today sooo...........

So I'd like to get in on this but not really the way out there big rifle shooting, how far out would I have to hit a 10" tablesaw blade with a rim fire for it to qualify? Would like get bonus points if it's a pistol?

To equate drop between a 1,000 yard rifle and a .22 rimfire rifle, I think 350 yards for the .22 would be good.

Anybody else have an idea on distance? Should be able to come up with a fair distance for a 22. A friend shoots consistently 450yds with his .17 hmr.

i would disagree with that. I've taken my 22lr out to 220 yards and it's not easy. The speed variations can be pretty high with most of the rounds I've played with

Here is my charts for the cci that my gun likes the best. Zero is 50 yards on 22 and 200 on the 300wm

[h20hunter]

Ill throw this out as this is all for fun and bragging rights as far as im concered. If you think 200 is long then 200, then 250, then 300. Long range is no set distance so.....whatever floats your boat.

[Lefthook]

Yeah, that's true, whatever's a long shot to someone is a long shot. I didn't look at a ballistics table, just remember shooting a .22 while my friend shot his .17 hmr when it was a brand new cartridge. He put a frozen milk jug at 350yrds at the base of a tree. He could hit it consistently, I had to line it up with the tree and go up to a point I couldn't even see the jug. If I remembered the exact place on the tree, I could hit the jug about 1 out of 4 shots. With a scope set up and maybe a 20MOA base I was thinking 350 would be hard but doable.

  1,000 yards for .300 Win Mag = 240.7 inches drop

   350 yards for .22 Rimfire = 248.2 inches drop

If I'm reading that chart correctly. Not sure how the 50yrd zero and 200yrd zero factor in to the chart, or if that is overall drop per yardage.

because of how much dial is needed. Not many scopes can dial 67.7 moa ,The 300wm is only 23 moa at 1000

[Lefthook]

Yeah, the .22 is dropping like a rock that far out while the .300WM is still relatively flat compared to the .22. I'm sure there is a way, but I wouldn't waste the effort.

[Jolten]

This could be a fun event to do as a group.

That would be hilarious! A line of guys with .22's shooting 350yrd targets. I'm in!

I was only able to whack P dogs at 225 yards with my 22lr and I had to darn near walk them in at that range.

The side of the ammo box claims .22lr is deadly up to 1.5 miles... We could test it
