There isn’t a chance that a .22LR would even leave a bruise at 300m, if you managed to deal with the 15 or 20’ of drop at that range. You might as well throw a shoe at him.

Cmon, let’s get these people using the right equipment for the job. Telling people that .22 is going to do the job is just making sure the job doesn’t get done.

The best kill is overkill.

Grand Thumb did a video on .22LR, and it definitely can still do damage at that range. Granted, you’d have to be an incredibly good shot, but could still be deadly

Oh crap, you’re right. Effective range 140 yard.

.270 or 30-06 it is then.

Look, I like to shit on the 22 as much as the next guy but at 500 yards it absolutely could kill. It’s not the most effective at that range but it will do more than bruise.

    And I guess the entire world grasped in unison: “What a reflex! Too bad, it would be EPIC!”

    It’s pretty majestic, all-in-all. Shoe chucker had great aim, Bush was just lucky to have seen that he was up to something and then, yeah, demonstrated pretty good reflexes for his age by evading it. AC 0 vs. shoes.

You would have to be a incredible shot but a 22 lr will still fuck you up or kill you at that range. It’s always foolish to act like a 22 is a toy round not to be taken seriously.
