I can dial almost to 500 with my 22, but have only shot to 400. Hitting clays that far is lots of fun. At about 20% hit rate myself. Biggest issue is bullet vel, as the hits seem to alternate between high and low. Crazy though cause trough the chrono, my ammo has single digit sd and es for 10 rounds.
Have the 5-20 SS with a egw 30moa base, giving me almost 30 mils of up (cant remember exact right now).
My dope at 400 is 21.5 mils shooting Lapua Center-X with a bc of 0.13 at 1060 fps. I have confirmed that at all distances up to 400 and its been light out.
Rifle is a Rem 40x
Keep up good work. I dont really find myself pushing it further than 400 due to the inconsistancies of the ammo. But still fun.
