The .22 Long Rifle The .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge is a long established variety of ammunition, and in terms of units sold is still by far the most common in the world today. The cartridge is often referred to simply as a .22 LR and various rifles, pistols, revolvers, and even some smoothbore shotguns have been manufactured in this caliber.
As a general rule (during the fourteen years that I ran a club range complex) I found that, with a decent sidewind: any shots past 30 metres, using supersonic or so-called 'hypersonic' .22 long rifle ammunition should be for plinking only. You will not achieve a good score and shooting at quarry is a definite no-no.

The flattest shooting .22 long rifle I've ever tried has to be CCI Stingers. Zeroed at 75 yards put them right at 3/4'' high at 50 yards and 2'' low at 100 yards. I'd bet that a 100 yard zero would put them about 2-1/2'' to 3'' high at 50 yards midrange trajectory, just like the ballistic information predicts at CCI's website.
Where two velocities are available but not otherwise described, it is assumed herein that they are “Rifle Muzzle” and “Rifle 100 Yard” velocities. Where only one velocity figure is available but not otherwise described by the information source, it is assumed to be the “Rifle Muzzle” velocity.
The chart you need to make is one comparing wind drift. That, and the variablilty built into the .22LR with it's heal-base bullet, is where the challenge comes into trying to learn to shoot long distances and read wind with the .22LR vs. a CF cartridge. Make that chart and use it when comparing how well you are doing with a .22LR.
I went with the 22 Creed now that brass is available. It still has a case capacity advantage over a 22-250AI by a little and no case forming. Feeds good out of AI and Desert Tech mags. Accuracy was very forgiving for me during load work up. Started with 41.0grs of H4350 at 3,250fps and went to 43.0grs at 3,450 with an 80gr ELDm.
