Ruger 10/22 - Best Distance To Zero 22lr (Accuracy & Holdover Test)

Рет қаралды 172,358

2 жыл бұрын

Today I'm testing out where holdovers would be at different distances from within 10m out to 75m+ for my Ruger 10/22 Man are these things accurate! The rotary magazines also do a great job cycling the rounds vs my past experiences with other .22lr guns where failure to feed or failure to eject are common issues.

I'm always amazed when I see how accurate/precise a properly calibrated .22LR rifle can be. I wasn't much of a gun person until recently, but I could have sworn when I was younger people tended to say rimfire cartridges in general weren't very accurate/precise. I don't think I'll be small game hunting any time soon, so I'm just fiddling with my 10/22; kind of treating it like a PCC in a way. Even got like a cheap Wal-Mart red dot sight on it just for fun. I still need to finish sighting it in for shorter ranges (~7-20 yards). Ridiculous, I know, but I never claimed I was smart. XD

@OutdoorsAnonymous Жыл бұрын

Yup these things can be pretty accurate indeed within 50yds. It’s only around 100yd+ that it gets finicky and you start to need better ammo for consistency. But plinking and hunting within the closer distances it makes it super easy.

@jimsiggy Жыл бұрын

For me using standard velocity ammo, I like about an 80Yd zero, this puts you about 1.5" low at 100, and 1.5" high at 50, 1.75" low at 25". This gives you the best overall same hold zero (but you can adjust your hold for more precision) out to around 100. Zeroing like this allows you to take advantage of your weapon's ballistics, for simpler shooting, but still enough accuracy over the entire range to hit small game.

Great discussion, regardless where folk settle in distance. It's best to know WHERE your zero lands in multiple positions: Prone, Kneeling, standing, bench. You will find your zero walking around in these different positions. Ballistic calculators/dope will affirm distance regardless of zero-ed distance

@OutdoorsAnonymous 2 жыл бұрын

Yup, for sure there’s a lot of various factors to consider from ammo type, equipment factors, environmental factors to shooter factors! Best to zero to a distance where ballistics is in the favor of what range you’ll usually shoot within, and test and confirm holdovers at different distances and get familiar with it like what I’m doing here. Especially if using the rifle to hunt and there’s possibility of shooting unknown distances unlike target shooting where a miss or bad shot might not be a big deal, a bad shot on a live animal might just injure it and that’s just not ethical practice!

60 yards works for me.. I've actually seen the trajectory of stinger .22LR when you have the sun behind you while shooting into a shaded treeline. The .22 shoots very flat out to 60 yards then you start to see the drop and at 100 yards it drops about 3 inches..so at a very short range its about a half inch high. Basically at 60 yards you can hold almost dead on from 10 yards out to 100. Other standard velocity .22 with the same zero are about 1 inch high at short range and drop about 6 to 7 inches at 100. This is were Kentucky windage kicks in and knowing your gun and ammo!

I built a competition 10/22 with an original Ruger receiver with all internal parts and the barrel made by Kidd and a Victor Titan stock. I’ve competed with it out to 300 yards and managed to take first and second place against Voodoo, Bergera, CZ and Tikka bolt guns. I zero at 50 yards and find that most ammo (except for the really crappy stuff) groups really well at 50yds in my rifles-the quality starts to really show at 100. What separates (and costs more money) the “good” ammo from the “regular” stuff is the time and effort put forth by the manufacturers to maintain a high level of consistency in priming compound and powder and bullet consistency. That’s pretty much what separates the good stuff from the cheap stuff. In my rifles the accuracy at 100 yards of the less expensive stuff doesn’t effect the width of the group but the vertical spread caused by inconsistent primer and powder application which effects velocity. Most people don’t realize how much effect the primer compound has in the velocity of a 22 rimfire round. With the 50 yard zero and an approximate muzzle velocity of 1060 fps, my rifle shoots 2/10’s inch high at 25yds, 2.6 inches low at 75yds and 7.7 inches low at 100 yds. Bullet drop at 200 yards is 57 inches and a whopping 162 inches at 300 yards!

After watching the video and reading some of the comments, it's quite evident that many people have their own opinion as to what distance is best to sight in their .22 rifles. I am no exception to that. Personally, I sight in my .22s at 35 yds. I have two 10/22s. One was bought way back in 1976. I have found it is most accurate using CCI Mini-Mag hollow points ammo. My newer take down 10/22 prefers CCI Stingers. Sighting in at 35 yds. assures me that from 10 yds, up to 50 yds. is deadly on small game. I have other weapons for 50+ yd. and longer ranges.

@OutdoorsAnonymous Жыл бұрын

To determine your MPBR, divide your muzzle velocity by 10. This should get you in the ballpark of your maximum point blank range. A hyper velocity yellow jacket at 1500 fps MV would be 150 yards. I set 10/22s up at half that distance for plinking, but to get serious about varmint control, leave it at MPBR and only worry about holdover/holdunder and windage.

The point of a lead sled or any other device used to hold the gun still. Isn't necessarily because that's how you're going to be shooting. It's to get the group as tight as possible, so when you're shooting in the field it's just a little less error from the shakes or what not.

All in all, this is a great video! IMO… Lead sleds are great for zeroing and establishing a range chart for POA vs POI… and that’s really all they are good for. If you’re using one for target shooting… you have no skill. My preferred zero distance is where my bullet path meets the optical plane. - keep pushing the distance to where the bullet stops climbing above your point of aim. If you zero your rifle at 20m and it hits higher at 30m… then adjust and continue to move your target out and shoot again… keep continuing to move your target out to the point of where your bullet path and the optics meet and everything falls below it until you reach a point that all shots fired at close range POI are below the POA and as you move away the POI gradually climbs to meet the POA. Once they meet and then POI starts to fall under the POA again “without climbing above the POA” that is the actual zero point. From that point (distance/range) you will be able to establish a pretty accurate bullet drop calculation and know that “everything” will be at a rate of drop below the POA… if you have a scope with adjustable turrets then you can make a very simple chart or marks on the turrets to dial the rang very simply and accurately. - “zero” on the dial becomes truly “zero” and no shot travels above “zero” If you really want to push this concept… get an MOA ramped sight/scope mount. This will allow you to adjust the reticle in your scope to maximize the elevation click range by tilting the scope a little bit allowing you to start your elevation adjustments at a lower point on the turret scale… this provides you an additional level of elevation adjustment that will stretch your range adjustment significantly over a 0-MOA by adding 20-40 MOA to your adjustment scale. This all may be a bit much for a .22LR… but this carries across the spectrum of all calibers.

@@OutdoorsAnonymous - nice! - I don’t really shoot competitively anymore since I retired. it was a little easier to afford when the Army paid for all of the travel, lodging, ammo, etc- so I do some local shoots here and there, but only a couple times a year anymore. Thanks for the replies to my comment. I really appreciate it and have enjoyed watching the few of your videos that I have seen and looking forward to checking out a few more.

50 meter zero here with standard velocity. Then switch to velocitors or stingers for 100m. hold over is minimal when you use the higher power round for long distance. Id like to say i figured that out on purpose but it was more of a accidental plinking discovery.

Nice, hard time finding the good ammo so I stick to the cheaper bulk 22 and the 25m zero does the job for my small game on this one!

What scope mag, what ring height?

@megastick9324 Ай бұрын

My preferred zero is 20/60. I’m on at 20 and again at 60. I’m about .50” high at 40yds and only about 1.25 low at 75 and around 4.75 low at 100. It’s the best all around zero for me for hunting, easy to remember any holds and with only .5” high at 40yds I get a usable PBR. I rarely shoot to 100 hunting and don’t bullseye shoot so 20/60 is an effective, rarely talked about, choice. Less drop at 100 than most others and stays within “ minute of squirrel for a long way.

Mildot or BDC scope? I used to bust 200 yard water balloons with iron sights for fun. Scope was too easy. You can zero 25 M at the +1 mildot above the crosshairs and get more distance play from scope. If you need more, back the scope power off and spread the distance of the dots. And if a dot is close to a preferred distance you can message the power back and forth to calibrate the mildot for it. I do this for xbow scope and airguns. .22 rimfire is kinda a no brainer when compared. I use a zero 25 yards at 8X. And holding dead on I can free hand head shoot squirrel out to 55 yards. Any further gets iffy because the perception of the terrain changes and they are hard to recover. Also you can use a laser and create a range card for your preferred bullet and corresponding dope. Note the exact distance of point of impact for each dot and corresponding distance. Transcribe it to half a 3x5" note card and tape to the stock or get fancy and cut out a circle the same size as your flip cap scope cover and attach it inside with some glue or tape. You did a fine job of squaring away your rifle.

That was a good video but, you could have used the other bullseyes for the different distances. That would have given a better visual representation or where you need to hold.
