God knows where these daft figures have come from.......look here and then consider how that compares to your quoted figures http://www.cci-ammunition.com/ballistics/rimfire.aspx If you are not convinced then simply try to zero at 35 yards and see what happens at 125.

Hope you like it but it was not for me realistically, i wont be shooting out further than 125 or so yrds & the closest will be approx 40yrds.. i hope i get on with it.. Quote Link to post

It really depends on the land... and the range you find best suited for that land..however, mine is zeroed for 100 yards with 17g V-Max..this gives a reasonable distance either side of 100yards where next to no adjustment is required...just point and shoot. If I expect to be shooting a bit shorter I will tend to take the .22LR! ATB..it can be a useful calibre! Edit...rarely push the HMR to 200yards..personally I do not consider it an everyday 200yard tool...could well be that I simply find the .223 FAR more efficient in every respect at this distance.....the HMR is capable but you need practice and the right weather conditions...plenty of power to stop a bunny at this distance but it's a matter of putting the tiny round in the right place, not that easy at 200yards in the field despite what others may say!

Westy 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 As has been said - I would zero for 100 yards - then its just point and shoot really from 70 yards to 125 yards - very little difference. As for range - I have taken 175 yard corvoids without a problem, but as has been said, if the winds up you will need to have put in some practise. HTH Westy Quote Link to post
