It seems 7mm Rem Mag has velocity and ballistic coefficient to be the best of common factory loads. The 338 Lapua and 50 BMG are probably better. Possibly 375 H&H Mag with spire point bullets.

If you are gonna do it you pretty much have to load your own. You have to chrono your loads and get to where you can load very consistently. Not just powder measures but crimp pressure or no crimp. Measure case volumes and reject anything out of defined limits. It becomes an obsession. Our but a Barrett and shoot .50 BMG. Then 1,000 yards is like 100 with a .22 I guess.

I’ve been a subscriber of his for a while. A lot of good information there.

[MtnClimber]

Thanks for cleaning up links! There are many other videos that can be found on youtube on this series.

I shoot my 22 long rifle ammo 1 1/2 miles. I know it’s that far cause on the box it says, “Caution, range: 1 1/2 miles.”

[Do the math]

Love the 7mm Mag, but my favorite is the 30-06.

[wastoute]

LOL. But do you have any idea of where the bullet lands?

[wastoute]

or buy a Barret... Stupid Ipad spellchecker again.

Talked to a fellow I know in Reno over the weekend. He’s been at the top of their county SWAT for 20 years. Says due to new tech perps have, they find themselves at greater distances and have both 50 and 416 Barretts for the tasks.

That’s what neighbors are for. You can’t used html or autoformat in the excerpt portion of the first post in a thread, so I did it for you.

But, what about boating accidents?

[eartrumpet]

When I was a kid, the range was 1 mile. I assume lawyers got involved at some point and increased the range.

No such thing as can't miss bullets, or can't miss sights. Either the shooter is good, bad, lucky, or unlucky. Few shooters are good at sniping distances. SWAT needs a .50 BMG less than they need MRAPS.

[umgud]

Can’t argue with all that.

[MtnClimber]

The citizens won’t be controlled better by government snipers. Hell, they won’t control the border against terrorists or violent gangs. The government now wants to control freedom lovers. They have 50 BMG and 416 Barretts pointed at us.

[yarddog]

They said one mile when I was a kid too. They have said 1 and a quarter mile for some time.

I read a controlled test a few years ago and the farthest they could get a .22LR high speed was around 7/8 of a mile. I guess they have to cover every possibility in their warnings. Maybe a hundred mph wind blowing the same way you shoot etc.
