    If there is not much wind or it is constant it is pretty easy to do well.

    Im intrigued, Ive occasionally shot out to 150, and would like to do more with my 22s. Did you do a drop chart or are your figures ballistic app based?

    If you shoot subs like you fly choppers the results will be far from good.

    Is this bloke trying to be funny? If so, it didn't work. Get a kids joke book and start there.

    Happy to set the 6" gong up out on my hillside and show you how capable CCI std Velocity subs are in my 16.5" barrelled CZ 455 varmint .22LR past 200y next time your over mate..
    Its a well kept secret that subs out shoot HV's at longer ranges. 242y on a magpie is my longest kill with a 10x scope and that setup.

    First pic of turkeys was with @Mintie and his CZ 452 silhouette helping me out on a pest control job..

    Well I never stop learning thats for sure ‘specially at @Wingmans place.

    Truth is I know bugger all about rimfire but now I’ve seen these posts and in particular @Russian 22.s feat with his Sako, I am seriously interested. Looks like really challenging (and cheap) fun. But one of those 25 cal PCPs would also be a bloody good way to go about my pest bird problem eh.

    Defo going to be investigating this more. Thanks for the inspiration. (The wife wants one too)

    short answer @Marty Henry i use Strelok+

    longer rambling answer . . . i think you have to use an App of some description once you start to get further out, mostly for a wind value to hold off.

    if i was to give advice to someone starting out with LR .22lr varminting it would be choose ammo that can shoot at least 1MOA at 100 yards and get lots of practice with a target size that is about 2.5 inches ( i use to shoot 3 inch squares but really thats to big ) and move it out untill you cant put the bullets inside it, thats your max range for awhile . . . there is one major problem tho, you will start upgrading your gear if you get into it.

    Just got into bed and almost asleep and two rowdy possums start going at it outside the bedroom window!
    Out came the .25cal Matador and a LED torch and it was over quick.. took one with a headshot off the top of my kids playhouse and the second one jumped and bolted up a tree next to the pond.. another solid hit and it landed in the water.. sorted.. back to bed.
