If I was any good at calculating gravity, wind etc the rifle is supposedly accurate out to 400 yards.

I was killing bowling pins past 400 yards with a .223 bolt gun off a bipod as a young teen. That .22-250 wont take much skill to reach milk jugs at 400+

Long ago I was a spotter with my friend shooting his 22-250. The best the range can offer is 200 yards so we shot there. I'd watch the monocular and tell him where he hit. One thing I found interesting was that I'd hear the firing pin strike and the hole will appear before the report.

talk about a super fast bullet.
