I remember that.Some older boxes advise: Caution...Range 1 mile.
Ran it in a ballistic calculator here's what you would have to do to shoot 1 mile/1760 yards with a 22lr HV.I remember that.
I have new boxes of CCI .22lr shot shells and the box warns that the shot can travel 250 yards!
I call on that one.
That's hilarious.Ran it in a ballistic calculator here's what you would have to do to shoot 1 mile/1760 yards with a 22lr HV.
100yd zero
I ran in increments of 80yds to get 1760.
Do notice it would take 1356 foot hold over.

I wonder what the chances of hitting a 15' high x 50' long side of a barn would be at 1760yds with a 22lr?Doing the math in my head, that holdover is only about a 20 degree angle. Which is why so many outdoor ranges are adamant about safe gun handling and keeping your gun pointed at the impact berms.
At the end of it's energy, the bullet trajectory would probably be close to 60 degrees downslope. That 15' wall shrinks to maybe a five foot target due to the angle. Add head wind, tail wind, or both, shot to shot velocity variance...it's a crap shoot.I wonder what the chances of hitting a 15' high x 50' long side of a barn would be at 1760yds with a 22lr?
How many shots would it take to land a hit even on a perfect day?
That would make for a new interesting long range competition.At the end of it's energy, the bullet trajectory would probably be close to 60 degrees downslope.

OTOH, the bullet has to go somewhere. How much ammo you got??
