.22lr long range shot- 730ft-243yds on soda can

Shot on soda can made from 243 yards resting off my atv. I used a 9x scope that was zeroed in at 33yds, so used Kentucky windage, and according to my calculations, i aimed 6ft above target and slightly to left to accommodate spin drift. Nothing fancy or high tech.. just a Marlin model 60 .22lr given to me from my uncle Tony, and cheap Remington Thunderbolt ammo. I did miss the first few shots, but once i looked at my misses, and realized the grouping was only 6-8 inches and very close, i refocused, took a few more shots, then got it! I am honest enough to admit i did not hit on first shot... the only reason i edited out the misses is i didnt want to make a boring video,lol. I really hope this sheds new light to anyone who thinks long distance precision shots cannot be done with a .22, because as you see, it can be done! Hope you enjoyed!

Very good shot there Chris, I agree with queenizi that it's a very underrated caliber :)

@TheInsomniac247 Thank you Kevin.. yea, it was hard! You figure at that distance, even with a 9 power scope, the can appeared to be a glint of light and bullet drop for the .22 at that range is 6 feet, but i was determined!

Nice shooting, and .22 LR is definitely underrated caliber... : )

@queenizi Thank you! Yes, it definitely is underrated caliber... even at that distance, it was easily penetrating a hard, thick plastic, industrial mop bucket. If you go through my vids, i also have some .22 penetration test. How is Gryme doing? I love watching his videos!!

[erich1313sch]

@m1shadow yeah ive watched that video a few times already, its really good ;) but i would be nice if you do one penetrating iron or something like,,,How's Sasha ?

[queenizi]

@m1shadow

Okay ! Yeah. will watch more of your (shooting)videos...

Grym is very fine. But his hormones are at their top, right now... : D

Thank You ! : )
