22 at 235 yards with slugs, Red 🐺

[Flintsack]

I was able to shoot the 22 red wolf at pretty long distance earlier in the summer. I only did it for one night. I was having the best success with th 20.5 grain nsa.

below are the two boards that I set up for shooting. I know they look like a mess, that’s why I circled the groups. On the upper target board, where you see the word fly , I was trying to shoot flies. I wanted to hit one at 240 yards. I came really close a couple of times.

The targets below are the best ones of the day. It was really calm. I think almost too calm. 

It is really a kick to watch through the scope and see where you’re hitting at such a long distance.

I know there’s other guys shooting past 200, I would love to see your groups!

Wow! Guess those LW barrels are pretty dang good. Nice shooting.

Mike, I must say, your skill is very admirable, as we know what the RW is capable of. Nice shooting.

Thanks for the kudos guys!


this one is actually .76 MOA, I did the math wrong. It measures 1.81 inches center to center.

I have the pleasure of shooting monthly FT matches with Mike. He shoots a different gun there under totally different conditions and turns in some incredibly great scores. The guy can shoot! Uj

Flintsack, what dia are you using with the NSA slugs? 

Great shooting by the way.

that’s insane at 235 yards!!! You can comfortably snipe a squirrel at 200+ yards!

Thanks Flintsack, I’ll be getting some on order for testing when I get home.

235 yds( .76 MOA ) That is awesome!! I am still shooting pellets and have not yet been past 100 yds. I have a Daystate HP 22 Wolverine Huma that shoots the heavy pellets MOA at 100 yds but I have not been able to acquire any of those re-design pellets for so long that I will try these slugs so I can shoot her again. What velocity are you sending them downrange at? Does my Wolverine have the same barrel as your Redwolf? 

 

[Flintsack]

From what I’ve seen, all the day state barrels are machined on the outside the same. The claim there’s some type of new barrel that they’re using now for the red wolf. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I had one of the exact same rifles that you’re talking about. I would order up some NSA 20 grain 217 or 2165.

Very impressive.

 

[woogie_man]

Awesome shooting for sure!



NSA doesn't make a 20.5 grain slug for the .22. Are you meaning the 20.2 grain or another? May need to grab some to see what will happen with my wolf

 

[Flintsack]

Yes, 17 diameter. Please let us know how it works. 165 Also did well.

I would suggest trying the 24.8 also.

[Adamxl]

Wow! That’s cool!

 

[Flintsack]

Thank you sir! That is the only time I shot the 22 at longer than 200 yards.
