I must confess, I don't recall ever having shot a .22 at a target 100yds away. I'd better get practicing...

FYI to all, the target we are using is an SR-21. it is appx 12 inches in diameter. The 10 ring is appx 2" in diameter, and the rings are spaced appx 1" apart down to the 5 ring. At 100 yards, the black (8, 9, and 10 rings) area is barely bigger than a speck to my eyes.

Ive got my Garand pretty well zeroed for 100 yards, and I can hold a 5 inch group, but I still have trouble keeping that group centered around the X. I have no idea what to expect in the way of bullet drop for a .22lr out of a 20+ inch barrel, nor do I know what kind of MOA accuracy to expect. Time will tell...

I expect to make a good group with my centerfire.

... Whether or not it'll be anywhere on paper is a different story.

I'm not going to be swabbing my barrel between shots, either. Just going to start cold and finish hot.

I bet the offhand relay results will be amusing. I think the winner should be the person who can get more than two prints on target.
