.22LR Bullet Drop From 100 to 200 Yards?
Sep 17th, 2025 at 5:35pm
Print Post  
This coming weekend I'll be headed for the range to establish a 200 yard zero for my .22LR for the upcoming .22 National Match in January. From what I've found online, it looks like I'll need to add elevation for about 40 inches to go from my 100 yard zero to be on at 200 yards. Does that seem about right to you guys who shoot .22LR rifles at 200 yards?
Thank you in advance for any help.

on my .22 with a lyman 6X scope, from 100 to 200 I have to come up 29 minutes. My 100 setting on the lyman mount is 131 and the 200 setting is 190.
Hope this helps.

Sam,

Are you sure about the 29 minutes?  I've been shooting .22BPCR for many years & my average adjustment from the pigs (100 meters) to the rams (200 meters) is 18.5 to 19 MOA.

BTW, I use a 6X scope with a 7.2" base spacing.  At the last match my 100M setting was 0.046" & 200M was 0.083".  0.002" (2 marks) of adjustment is 1MOA.

I do get around 28 to 29MOA from the chickens (50 meters) to the rams (200 meters).

Randy,
My numbers come fairly close to Wayne's, slightly more elevation because of barrel length and/or ammo choice.  I shoot both silhouette and schuetzen and my dope doesn't change much, occasionally a change in density altitude requires a tweak once in a while, there will be some for me I bet this winter at BA for the match.  Wink
A Ballard, RKS barrel, 1:12, LH, GT, 30", Lapua Center-X, Lyman 10x STS, 7.2" base centers = 100 yd setting .032", 200 yd setting .074", constant velocity measurement with a Bullet Seeker 1047 fps ave.  Two lines = 1 MOA so my come-up is 21 MOA. 
I'm assuming you are shooting a scope?

Yes, I shoot that .22 with a scope (Hi-Lux Malcolm 20X). It's a Cody Ballard BR rifle for Schuetzen. For Schuetzen we shoot at 100 yds but the upcoming .22 National Match has an event at 200. I need to establish a 200 yd zero so I can get in some practice before the match.
Thank you for the elevation info.

Another way to get on paper at 200 is to place 2 targets, one above the other, at 100 yards.  Place them with the centers 14 inches apart.  After you get center hits on the lower target, increase the elevation until you get center hits on the upper target while aiming at the lower one.

18 m.o.a. and 14" It seems like both paths lead to being on at 200 yds.
Thanks guys.
I'm looking forward to shooting my .22 at 200.

Randy remember your point of impact will differ between your barrel resting on the sticks and shooting off of a rest. I would suggest get on paper off of the rest and then fine tune off of the sticks.
Btw the target you have worked up for the match looks great!

18 MOA for me form 100 to 200 yds - 19.5 MOA from 100 to 200 meters.  BSA 12/15, SK rifle match, original peep sights.

Thanks for the tip about shooting off X sticks. I haven't fired a rifle of sticks in many years. I'm gonna need to get in some practice between now and your match  Wink

From 100 yards to 200 yards, I come up 18 minutes with Match velocity ammunition. 

I hold center, squeeze, look for the hit. It's usually in the white or bottom of the black at 6 o'clock. Three more shots to confirm, then correct to the center. 

If there is no hit on the first shot, I hold the top of the target and look for the hit in the center of the target. Then crank on 4 MOA to assure the shot is visible. Back to the center hold and corrections to the center.

One bad habit I developed at 200 yards was looking for the bullet while it was in the air. With the Sun behind you and little crosswind, you can see the track and predict the hit. This habit meant I was not performing a complete follow-through.

Wayne, that is what I had written down in my book from sighting in. that was with SK Pistol match Special. The scope is a lyman jts. 6x
That is what I have written down, over the weekend I will look and see if I have a score sheet from a match I shot and see if the numbers are different. they may be. I do know I was kind of disapointed with some of the ammo I had tried. Some shot really really good at 100, pretty good at 150 and then the wheels fell off at 200.

I really like the idea of KNOWING the gun/sight combination settings for various ranges.  Shooting M14 we'd go 8 clicks up (from bottoming out) at 200, 10 at 200, and 12-13 for 600.  Made it a no-brainer in QUICKLY making the adjustment for different range targets.

Thank you for the elevation info.

Give me your honest opinion about the Hi-lux Malcolm.  I assume that you shoot more as a competitor than as a casual shooter.  I like the appearance of the Hi-Lux bit I like the Unertl, the Lyman Super target better.  All of those very pricey and that's why I don't own any right now.  They're all appropriate for my original 1885 Lo-Wall, and will add value to the rifle should I ever decide to sell it.  In the meantime I'll have to stick with my Marble tang sight and my Beech folding combination sits.

My .22 BSA needs 75 clicks up from 100 to 200 with a 25X Lyman Super Targetspot. My 32-40 high walls take approx 45 clicks for the same ranges.

Years ago i asked the same question so i sighted in at 200 yds. Put up a clean sheet of paper at 100 yds. 3/4” dot at the bottom of the paper,  using federal UM 1. Unertl 16x. On an BSA international All shots were 18”. High. My suggestion is do the same  with what you are using and count your scope clicks to adjust your scope for that particular rifle.  One side note , write it down and or take a picture so you can repeat it

Another bit of trivia. I was shooting a 22 match today with a guy that had a really nice HiWall Winder 22 LR. It had a Krag barrel sight on it. For 100 meters he set the Krag sight to 1400 yards.

I had my Ballard sighted in for 200 yards.  Had to shift to 100 yards.  Went with two targets and a lot of white paper, all in a vertical line.  Aimed at the bottom bull.  With my 12 X Unertl, it took 72 clicks drop in elevation from 200 yards to 100 yards.  That's an 18" change on the point of impact.  I shot 2007 Eley Club Extra, that is the 2007 Tenex production overrun. It will still put most of them in the 25-ring at 200 yards.

I have a 3rd Model Winder with a 2nd Model Winder barrel, takes a Model 1901 Krag sight mounted right against the receiver.  I tried it once, but my elderly eye complained.  Put scope blocks on it.  Shoots better with a Unertl.

I did get my 200 yard zero for that 22RF Ballard. It's about 18" above my 100 yard zero. I have the exact elevation setting recorded but it's not in front of me at this moment.
The match isn't until Jan 25 next year so I still have time for some practicing prior to the event. The match is the Arizona Single Shot Rifle National Match and this particular 200 yard event is the "White Buffalo" target and closest shot to the center determines the winner. Each competitor gets 1 shot off cross sticks. A little like a Schuetzen King match but with 22RF at 200 off sticks.
Obviously this event is part of a larger program.
Come on out the Arizona and shoot with us, it's gonna be a hoot  Wink

To sight in my 22 for 200 yards I shoot at 25 yards.  When it hits 7 inches high at 25 it will usually hit a schuetzen target at 200 yards.

I do shoot at Ben Avery. I'll be there in March for the International BPCR Long Range Championship. We start with a .22 /200 yard Match. Then shoot 500-600-800-900 and 1000yards with our BPCR's over sticks. We shoot about 300 rounds over a week. THREE DAYS AT 1000 YARDS/ 30 plus rounds a day.
Last year the Ballard I was shooting won the .22 Match. It belongs to a friend who so graciously let me shoot it. It is with out a doubt the most accurate rifle I've ever shot. Great fun, but I only make it down once a year. Enjoy!

lMy strategy is a little different. I sight in at 50 yards. With 1/8 minute clicks I raise the sight 192 clicks. Aiming at the 50 yard dot it shoulld shoot about 13 1/2 inches high at 50 yards. Wayne

Since we are on the subject. I know 22 ammo can be a crap shoot (pun intened), but what have you guys found to work well for 200 yard shooting? Standard velocity, high velocity, sub sonic? And yes, I know there are variables that come into play.

Since we are on the subject. I know 22 ammo can be a crap shoot (pun intened), but what have you guys found to work well for 200 yard shooting? Standard velocity, high velocity, sub sonic? And yes, I know there are variables that come into play.


I've had really good luck with subsonic. Black box eley has worked the best for me. Wayne

Craig, I'm still shooting the 2007 Eley Club Extra the Redwood Gun Club guys bought in 2008.  It was really Tenex, a production overrun. Shot a 246-6C a couple of weeks ago, in that calm period right after the first rains of winter.

Lots better than the expensive Lapua stuff a lot of us bought when California banned mail-order purchases.   

I bought the first batch of that Norma Match stuff in the white boxes.  Some of that would not go 200 yards.

We are still shooting on Tuesdays, 11:00 to about 14:30.  We meet at the gate, 10:30.  Please join us.

Late ... I don't remember the numbers... *maybe* written down somewhere. I just remember none of the various rifles were the same even when I compensated for the *ACTUAL* MOA of the sights and sight radius involved. 

Worse, were the 2 Leupold 6.5-20's that had absolutely *NO* correlation between each other ... OR ... the target ...
