Last time, we talked about the idea of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/the-backyard-sniper-a-true-practical-rifle\/\">true practical rifle<\/a>. For me, it\u2019s a suppressed Savage .22 LR bolt action that I use for pest control. Today, I\u2019ve got a quick follow-up for you with some more .22 goodness. I want to talk about practical external ballistics for the .22 LR cartridge.<\/p> <h3><strong>What is &#8220;Practical Ballistics?&#8221;<\/strong><\/h3> <p>External ballistics refers to what the bullet does between the muzzle and the target. If we were talking about what the bullet does after it hits the target, that\u2019s terminal ballistics. We\u2019ve talked about .22 terminal ballistics in the past and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll cover it again sometime. But for now, we\u2019re looking at external ballistics \u2013 in particular, bullet velocity and trajectory.<\/p> <p>What I mean by practical external ballistics is that I want to look at what the bullet does in flight and then apply that knowledge to how I\u2019m going to use the rifle outside the shooting range. The main thing I really want to know is bullet drop. For the distances I\u2019m planning to use the rifle, where do I need to aim in order to hit my target? Velocity is important because faster bullets will drop less by the time they reach the target. Velocity is also important for pest control because I want to make sure the bullet\u2019s going to have enough energy to take out that animal quickly and cleanly. But that gets us back into the territory of terminal ballistics.<\/p> <p>You can find numerous ballistic tables for .22 LR online. There are multiple ballistic calculator apps that\u2019ll give you excruciatingly detailed information about what a bullet should do at a specific distance. These can all be very useful tools. Of course, ballistic tables are just a starting point. You have to actually shoot some groups out of your own gun to find out what your specific rifle and ammo combo are going to do.<\/p> <p>But the issue I have with a lot of ballistic tables is that they\u2019re often based on the velocity you get from something like a 20 to 24-inch barrel. A lot of the most common .22 rifles today have barrels closer to 16 to 18 inches. That means the ballistic data from a longer barrel might not even really be useful as a kind of ballpark starting point.<\/p> <p>So, we did some of our own testing to give you one more data point to work with when you\u2019re considering .22 ballistics.<\/p> <h3><strong>.22LR Loads Tested<\/strong><\/h3> <p>We measured the bullet drop and muzzle velocity of six different loads out of my 16-inch Savage Mark II.<\/p> <p>Two of the loads were subsonic with muzzle velocity a little over 1000 feet per second. Those were the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/22-lr-40-grain-poly-coated-lrn-cci-clean-22-100-rounds\">CCI 40-grain Polymer Coated Clean-22<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/22-lr-38-gr-hp-eley-subsonic-50-rounds\/\">Eley 38-grain Subsonic Hollow Point<\/a>.<\/p> <p>We had three high velocity loads that measured close to 1300 feet per second \u2013 The 40-grain copper plated round nose version of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/22-lr-40-grain-cprn-cci-mini-mag-1000-rounds\">CCI Mini-Mag<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/22-lr-40-grain-cphp-winchester-wildcat-100-rounds\">40-grain copper plated Winchester Wildcat<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/22-lr-36-gr-tcsb-viper-100-rounds\">36-grain Remington Viper<\/a>.<\/p> <p>And then we had one extra high velocity load that measured around 1500 feet per second &#8211; the 32-grain copper plated hollow point <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/22-lr-32-gr-cphp-cci-stinger-50-rounds\">CCI Stinger<\/a>.<\/p><p><\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads-552x450.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads-1024x835.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads-768x627.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/six-loads-350x286.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <h3><strong>Results<\/strong><\/h3> <p>To be completely honest, for me this is more of a theoretical than a practical exercise. For pest control, I\u2019ve never needed to take a shot more than 50 yards away. My property is just not that big. So I use subsonic ammo with a suppressor to stay as quiet as possible. I zero the gun at 50 and it\u2019ll hit within about a half inch of that between 15 and 50 yards. It\u2019s pretty straightforward.<\/p> <p>But, of course, .22 LR is viable far beyond 50 yards. In the comments on that last video, some of you guys mentioned using your .22s to take out squirrels, prairie dogs, and other pests at 100 yards and beyond. So, for these six loads, we fired five-round groups from a benchrest at 50, 100, 150, and 200 yards.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1-600x231.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1-1024x395.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1-768x296.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luckygunner.com\/lounge\/media\/22lr-ballistic-table-1-350x135.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><\/p> <p>We zeroed our rifle at 50 yards, so that\u2019s our starting point. At 100 yards, the subsonic loads dropped more than 7 inches. The Stinger has about 50% more velocity and it only dropped two inches. Moving out to 150, the gulf between the fastest and slowest bullets is even wider. The Eley 38-grain Subsonic that I like to use at home drops 30 inches at 150 yards, while the Stinger drops just under 11 inches. The other supersonic loads were a few inches lower.<\/p> <p>All of these bullets really start to drop between 150 and 200. We had to staple together a special extra tall target just to catch all of the bullets. At 200 yards, the Stinger impacts 2.5 feet below the point of aim. The Eley drops 4.5 feet.<\/p> <h3><strong>Conclusions<\/strong><\/h3> <p>I know lots of shooters practice with .22LR out to 300 and 400 yards and beyond. For that, you really need a scope with some kind of bullet drop reticle and you have to be 100% sure of your exact range. That\u2019s the difference between ballistics and what I would call practical ballistics. For small game hunting or pest control, 200 is probably pushing the limit of what\u2019s practical. With this gun and the simple duplex reticle in this optic, I wouldn&#8217;t be comfortable trying to shoot a small animal at an unknown distance if I thought it was much past 100 yards.<\/p> <p>But even at 100, we can see how ammo selection makes a huge difference. The higher velocity loads give you a big advantage because they don\u2019t drop as much. The CCI Stinger, for example, is marketed as a Varmint load, and that\u2019s not just hype \u2013 that extra velocity really does make range estimation less of a factor you have to worry about with small targets. In my case, with targets inside 50 yards, a subsonic load works just fine because keeping the noise down is a greater priority than a flat trajectory.<\/p> <p>Okay guys, that\u2019s all I\u2019ve got for today.
