While not an exact duplication, the 22 LR can make a fantastic training round for the long range or PRS shooter wanting to work on their fundamentals. The amount of drop over this short distance and slight variances in wind, make this equitable to shooting a 308 Winchester at 1,000 yards. Quite a bit of the skills one needs to shoot a magnum caliber rifle over extreme distances are needed to shoot a 22 LR consistently over 300 yards. It’s much more likely to have convenient access to a 300-500 yard range. There’s a certain appeal to send huge bullets well over a mile away, but for many shooters access to ranges 1 mile + are hard to come by. Being relatively inexpensive and readily available, the 22LR is an obvious choice when it comes to working on fundamentals such as trigger pull, breathing or positional shooting. It’s easy to see the economical factor that plays into this cartridge. From shooting pop cans in the backyard to an array of new emerging competitions, the 22LR is destined for more than small game or 50-yard smallbore bench rest matches. A longtime favorite for squirrel hunting or introducing new shooters to our beloved pastimes, this little cartridge is now being pushed further and further than grandpa would have dreamt. The basic design of the cartridge has remained relatively unchanged. The versatile 22LR has been around since the late 1800’s.
