Shooting steel at 400 yards with .22 Impact

[qball]

How many mil or MOAs are you dialing and zeroed at? I ran the calculation at 400 yards I need 27 mils or 93 MOA. My scope has 120 MOA so it's close to the edge of dialing capability. I want to figure out how to get to 500 meters which needs 46 mils or 156 MOAs. Doh!

Thanks!

You’re doing the very thing I want to do with my air rifle. Glad to see you’re making it work!
I’m shooting consistently out to 300yds, and groups are still close to moa. Will try further when time permits.

I'd be happy to be hitting 100y consistently, you 400y guys are my heroes.

Hey Treespell,
What rifle do you have, ammo you're using, and fps? I'm sure we can find a helpful combination.

I use a Gamo swarm whisper with the gamo .22 pellets. I'm new and don't measure FPS yet. I'm hoping to upgrade to an impact m3 soon.

If the pellet are too lite, they will spiral down range and not be accurate. Try a heavier pellet. Also watch a few videos on proper holding of the rifle. This should work.
