Thanks you two. I DO LOVE my old .22 rifle! Long gone are the days we could collect pop bottles to sell, then go to store at the age of 9 or 10 and buy a 50 cent box of shells.
Exactly. Zemple's Hardware, 50 cents a box. Yes, those were good old days. All said, though... We're living in the most exciting times in recorded history. Granted, the bad guys appear to be winning. But, we've read the end of the book and know well who wins.
Thank you for doing this! Everyone acts like I’m nuts when I say that at 250+ I like using CCI mini mag target 40grn rounds. I have a 5in by 6in plate at 400yrds and have had fantastic results. My little brother and I can routinely put 8/9-10 on that plate @ 400yrds.
This channel has supplied me with so much useful information. I love shooting long range. And I love this channel.I give a big Thank you Mark and Sam...until you are better paid. This content is so much worth a monetary investment from all whom benefit from it.
Excellent video. The trans-sonic zone topic is something I have not given much consideration in regard to the 22LR. It seems like velocity is King at these distances regardless. Thanks Mark and Sam!
I'm going to try those Velocitors in my 12rd Uberti Cattleman 5.5" bbl when I'm out enjoying shooting stationary clays on the 200m berm. Thank you for proving the transonic barrier isn't much of a barrier! I can't wait until the weather clears!
My wife shoots 22lr competition. Eley Tenex has been the best ammo for her out to 100yds. She uses a 10/22 with a Tactical Solutions barrel. When things go right She often gets 5 shot groups that are one hole. She's tried dozens of different ammo types. She's been thinking of trying longer ranges, so this information will really help.
Can’t believe I missed this very nice love to play with 22. Saves lots of money and it’s a challenge even out to 200 yards I think you guys did great have fun HAPPY NEW YEAR
Fantastic, thanks much, this is perfect timing as I’m just going out for long distant 22 shooting within the hour and you even saved me the search for MOA and I’ve got the very same ammo, and shooting a CZ 457. As usual, great info and material!
Great video-like your set setup - the standard velocity .22 is all I shoot for small game in the swamps in Florida- and in reality it’s all i need - again great video 🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
It looks like the Veloster ammunition did the best accuracy wise. I can also understand why it is printed on the boxes of .22 rimfire cartridges, "Dangerous within one mile or in some cases one and a half miles." Nice shooting again Mark and thanks for the explanation of the ammunition beforehand and after. It would be nice to see this test done with the .22 Magnum rimfire cartridges.
@@markandsamafterwork I found the .22 Magnum video. Shooting handloaded cartridges at 1000 yards. Wonderful! I can see that the bullets don't have much power left when they strike the target. When I was younger and working for John Martz Luger maker he built a .22 Magnum Luger carbine. I made the stock for it and we shot it out to about 250 yards with open carbine type sights and it shot well at that range. I found it difficult to see the holes in the target at that range even with a spotting scope.
I found that the CCI mini mags work very well out to 400. I’m pretty sure they’re tumbling at 600 as the drop is substantially more than what they should be, and I was only able to hit the target one out of 13 tries. I’ll have to try the velocitors next time at 600.
Thank you both for the videos and information. I too have found that the transonic stage has very little effect if any when shooting rimfire ammo at 200 yards or further.
Thank you so much for the .22 coverage in long range shooting. With ammo so expensive now, my CZ 455 is what I shoot the most. Mine likes Norma Match best out to 200 yards but I do shoot some CCI and Aguilia. At 100 yards, the Norma Match groupings are 1 MOA and the standard and high velocity stuff is 1.5 to 2.0 MOA's. I'm now looking forward to stretching it out to 300 yards and will certainly take your advice and try the higher velocity ammo. Thanks again and please keep the .22 videos coming. There are not too many channels that cover long range shooting in .22 calibers.
I wonder what's keeping Lapua and Eley from making a cci velocitor equivalent. That's the biggest argument I've seen about the HV vs SV debate: the 'best' ammo is SV, so of course HV has to be 'worse'. I like the Lapua/SK for semi autos. Greasier and slicker for more reliable feeding.
Another great informative video 😀 I use Lapua Midas Plus in my 10/22, just found it to be the most accurate but never taken it over 150yds. Perhaps I will give it a go out of curiosity 😀
Hi! My experience of velositors tells that there is variations of weight. Few of really heavy/light and two groups of weight. Around 1/3 0f a kind. In groups it means two group and fliers.. I do sort velocitors and use those two good sortiment. Pistol plinking will eat those heavy/ligt ammo.
You said something about variation in .22 ammo--you were talking about CCI Velocitor at the time--being due to tiny variations in the itty-bitty powder charge. That may well be part of it. But I was told, or read, long ago, that it's very difficult to get the exact same amount of priming compound in each .22 cartridge. With the powder charge being so tiny, any variation in the relatively hotter primer has more of an effect on velocity. AIR, Wolf ammo was buying primed cases from Eley, because Eley ammunition is extra accurate because they're better at priming the difficult little .22 case.
Oops. Forgot. I've chronographed Velocitor, and out of a 17-inch barrel I got something more like 1330 f/s. That's still usefully faster than "high velocity"--40 grs @~1250--and it is very accurate in the .22 rifles I've tried it in, so it is a favorite hunting load. It's just not 1435. I don't know if it would be faster from a longer barrel: lots, but not all, .22LR seems to be all done accelerating in 10 inches.
I see similar results with sk subs from a tacsol/greybirch 10/22 footprint rifle. Ill try supersonics in the spring. Your results demonstrate your point. Thanks!
It occurs to me that round nose bullets may have better stability coefficients for a given twist, because they are shorter and have less center of pressure to center of gravity moment arm to destabilize them as they go through transsonic zone. But then you don't seem to find significant destabilization even in longer spirepoints....
I really enjoy learning about what you found out. It's a pity that no match ammo is produced supersonic, otherwise with nice QC and high velocity it would be a game changer.
I'm 14, and I got my MARK II GXP Savage 22LR. I used some Blazer ammo and hit a 4-inch target at 300 yards. I was crouching on the floor and used a Field Pod Max to hold my rifle. I had maxed out my scope turrets in elevation, so I had to do some Kentucky windage and aim a bit high over the target. It took me about 10 tries, but then I heard a ding, and it fell over. My scope has no mil dots or hash marks, just a plain old X reticle.
Great video. Point is, have a dedicated ammo or rifle for different distances. Out to 150, SV will literally stack on one another with a custom rifle. High velocity ammo for ELR where SV runs out of poop and its benefits are no longer viable. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks Mark and Sam, very informative. I’ve tried Velocitor in my 16 inch barrelled CZ at 100 meters, much flatter shooting but my rifle does not seem to shoot it as accurately as standard velocity at that range. Cheers.
Luckily, using my 40X/Redfield Olympic sights on 50ft targets, the problems with the sub/std/hyper selection don’t really trouble me. One of these days though, I’m going to pick up another 40X and throw a scope on it and you can bet that I’ll be re-watching all of these videos. Great video, take care and be well!
Today I got an egw 40moa scope base set a target at 27 yards to bore sight in. It worked. Using a standard stock American rimfire Moved up to 220 yards and I was never able to hit the target with cci subsonic. As if that was the max distance. Even maxing out my scope I switched to standard federal 1200fps and reset my scope. And it was a hit first try. I moved out to 380 yards(+54moa) had to guesstimate for a consistent 20mph wind and I had impact on second attempt How are you hitting so far with subsonic???
Very nice to learn from your testing. Obviously more bang more distance with better groups, providing its a proper projectile. I’m testing Remington golden bullets hollow tip 40gr@ 1275 fps that cost $0.05 per round & Federal AutoMatch solid tip 40gr@ 1200fps that’s also $0.05 a round. From your testing I see that at those ranges, 40gr projectile is best for proper wind flow & ballistics. I’m testing with a CZ 457 Jaguar 1/2x28, 28” barrel, Anschutz 1710 22” match, Remington 550-1, Marlin model 60, Winchester model 52 sporter & model 74, Mossberg model 151, Wards Westerfield 87a & my Remington 572 pump. I’m looking into SK Long distance match & super long. Also some Norma offerings in 1010fps-1400fps match varieties. ELEY & Lapua I refuse to special order. If I can’t see and put hands on it. I’m yet to buy it. Thanks, I made sure to like & subscribe. Great Work, my kids and I love to learn.
my only XP with subsonic ammo is when my grandfather left me his Colt Woodsman, you cant shoot supersonic ammo through it. but I find the experience still good.
I am not a nay sayer, I just want you to figure out how to tow a go-pro behind the projectile whilst it’s in flight. Lol It would save a lot of paper needed to show bullets stable or tumbling. Great work Mark and Sam. Thankyou.
Lol, we have videos that explain, but bullet don't stay travelling straight when they tumble, so, at any extended distance, the grouping with tell you, Cheers
Have you found any scaled parallels / patterns between the .22LR ammunition and your 45-70 experiments, for the similarities of bullet style? I would think rates of twist would have considerable influence on stability especially in managing bullet behavior through transonic trajectory profiles. I’m very impressed with LR groups you’re achieving with the various factory .22LR loads, especially for the amplitude of percentages of variance in these little loads, when compared to center fire ammunition, as you noted. As always, a very informative and well done video. Cheers
High velocity ammo works the best for me at longer ranges. I came to the conclusion that a centerfire is the only practical thing to use if I really want to hit something . It gets frustrating to use so many rounds to hit something consistently like a prairie dog or crow size target even at 200 yards. It is great for wind, scope adjusting, and trigger let off practice. And of course cheap. Improving the velocitor quality has possibilities. Good luck.
It seems like the rifle itself could handle way higher pressures than the little 22 shell--- what are the theoretical highest pressures and velocity you could get in a 22 bullet??
Kind of like your other ELR stuff (Heavier going faster) then? Ha ha! I have found fairly good consistency with just about ALL of the CCI factory ammo and the Federal match is very consistent as well. At some point I'm going to actually load my own cast lead 40 gr., .22LR with tailored charges and keep them in like weighted lots.
Thanks for this video, I need to give supersonic ammo a try again. What barrel is on the CZ 455? I have a 457 VPT but not a match chambered barrel. Wondering if I should change it out.
Jan 2025...this episode just recycled to YOU TUBE and I just completed my own test. I discovered that at long distance my 24 inch barrel performed better than my 20 inch barrel rifles. My friend's 16 inch " we're so hot and trendy following the**** ) barrel did not do so well. 50 yards test all 3 grouped about the same with subsonic ammo. Velocitor type better at 300 to 500 yards. As always happy for all your lessons and videos. G'Day Mate, right ?
Ah, the humble little .22. Never to be underestimated.
Yep, cheers

Examine how they hit wooden/paper targets at 600 yards. I can't be sure, but I guess it's just excessive jaw angle ( not the "tumbling") effect
Once again great work.

Very nice to learn from your testing. Obviously more bang more distance with better groups, providing its a proper projectile.

I’m testing with a CZ 457 Jaguar 1/2x28, 28” barrel, Anschutz 1710 22” match, Remington 550-1, Marlin model 60, Winchester model 52 sporter & model 74, Mossberg model 151, Wards Westerfield 87a & my Remington 572 pump.

Thanks for this video, I need to give supersonic ammo a try again. What barrel is on the CZ 455? I have a 457 VPT but not a match chambered barrel. Wondering if I should change it out.

Jan 2025...this episode just recycled to YOU TUBE and I just completed my own test. I discovered that at long distance my 24 inch barrel performed better than my 20 inch barrel rifles. My friend's 16 inch " we're so hot and trendy following the**** ) barrel did not do so well. 50 yards test all 3 grouped about the same with subsonic ammo. Velocitor type better at 300 to 500 yards. As always happy for all your lessons and videos. G'Day Mate, right ?
