They will all “go” out to 250 yards. The question is will they go where you want them to.
I used to do a lot of metallic silhouette shooting with .22 LR’s and tested every type and brand of ammo I could get my hands on for accuracy at 25 yard increments out to 250 yards.
I concluded that some ammo had huge differences in shot to shot velocity and others were highly consistent. I also concluded that what shoots incredibly well in one rifle will not do as well in another nearly identical one.

With a good digital scale, you can weigh 22lr rounds to group rounds by weight and will get an amazing group accuracy. You will also notice there is a rather wide variation of weight in a bulk pack of 22lr ammo. if you want to have more consistency, weight the rounds and group them by weights. I’m not talking about weighing the noses, weigh the entire round. variations in weight are mostly due to powder/bullet differences during production.

Our experiences coincide with similar conclusions. I used to do a lot of bottle cap shooting years ago. Ammo was the key at making consecutive shots beyond 100 yards.
