22lr bullet drop

rebs

with a 22lr with 23 inch barrel and shooting CCI standard velocity ammo zeroed in at 50 yds where would the point of impact be at 100 yds ?
 
Yep. I have the Strelok Pro and wouldn't be without it! You can even choose the brand of ammo for profiles. Maybe the rest do too, but I haven't tried them. Always being updated with bullets and scope reticles to stay current. Good app.

To answer the question...very roughly, it would impact around 6" low at 100 with a 50-yard zero. Actual speed and other factors make this only a guess until you actually shoot.

JBM ballistics calculator is your friend. It is online and it is free, it will give as much or as little information as you want, they have most all of the popular 22 rounds listed.

The POI at 100 yards will vary by the height of the line of sight over the bore, either through a scope mounted above the bore or by other means. In other words, different ring heights will result in different POI as will different open sights.

Below is a ballistics chart with the line of sight equal to the bore itself and the zero at 50 yards. This is theoretical of course because it doesn't involve any kind of sights.



Below is a ballistics chart with the line of sight 1.5" above the bore and the zero again at 50. At bottom is a chart with the line of sight 2.5" above the bore with the zero at 50 yards.



 
No charts, just a few years of Smallbore Prone competition using standard velocity ammo between 1050 & 1075 fps, With my Anschutz rifle & 24" barrel, my normal zero on turrets is at 50 yards. The change upward at 100 yards is about 7 ~ 7.5 moa. Slight variations with ammo velocity & wind direction.
YMMV.

50 to 100 yards for me using my contender with a 12 8nch barrel was 28-35 1/4 moa clicks depending on conditions for the day
 
A nice round number of 50 clicks of a 1/8 moa click scope always gets my first sighter plenty close for all my rifles and sv ammo. 25 for 1/4 click scopes, of course.
If you're looking to dial and hit first round then all the other stuff gets important.

Same here. I have shot smallbore prone competition for decades. With standard velocity .22 ammo, with a 50 yard zero, the drop at 100 yards is 7 to 7.50 inches.
 
I use online "Shooters Calculators". I've used it out to 300, and with a few tweaks, it's dead-on.


Has presets for .22lr. I played with bc.

Eta: My adjustments didn't survive the cut/paste. I use a .119 bc for Lapua and SK. Seems to be very close. You can adjust all the inputs and outputs to suit; if you want you can do 1 yard intervals (kinda fun to see how steeply it's dropping off way out there)

I absolutely, LOVE my MOA gridded, 4.5 x 14 Burris, on my 10-22 ruger "Custom" with, 20 inch, Green Mtn barrel, as it's real easy to adjust for, those "Longer" shots if using, a Range finder !
Sage Rats, are not to fond of, this set-up, tho !
 
6.25 on polar biathlon - click or two more on midas + for my setup
tall target test is critical when dialing past 10+ moa
