NZ Laws are a bit lighter than the aussie laws but I'm putting my 22 rds through a Stirling Semi Auto, 22 inch barrel but the barrell is a heavier grade than the stad 22 barrels not quite Bull Barrel but still a lot heavier which tends to hold nice tight groups. The weather turned to shite so i haven't been out to the "range" ........more later including some photos of where I shoot and the "Range".

In my 18" Mossy Plinkster mini-sniper I use Remington Golden Bullet 36gr HP, it's rated @ around 1250" p/s or so... probably less in my gun. It aint match ammo but it works OK, sans the occasinal flyer going off in left or right field.

I keep it sighted in about an inch low @ 100y. From 20y out I just hold dead on on crows, rabbits, etc., maybe a scoche low if the target is really small. The PB is about an inch or so from 25-75y w/ a max of 2" high from boreline, if I remember correctly. Those ranges are where I do most of my field shooting.

I'm thinking of changing to a 75y zero then doping the drop in clicks to 100y and putting that info on my scope. Shoots way flatter w/ a 75y zero.

Bullet drop is about 5.5" @ 100y with a 50y zero w/ these.

YMMV! & this is probably more info than ya'll wanna know on my 22LR stuff. Very Happy

Some shooters at the range during the brake walk out and toss clays onto the 100y berm to shoot w/ center fire rifles. Once they bust one it's open game and I'll clean up the chips w/ my mini-sniper till they are just itty bits.

I like a 75 yard zero. On at 25 and slightly high at 50. I've been waiting to get back to the range with my four .22LRs with different barrel lengths and give some velocity data. Hoping to verify that that somewhere around 18-inches is the optimum barrel length.

I'm using Swartklip subsonic. With such a guiding tool and a file, I make it flatnose first. Zero on 50 m which gives 1 cm high at 25 m and for 100 m I just use the top of the thicker lower vertical part of the cross. Just put that thicker part right beneath your target, works easier than milldots.

I started a post and and wrote and article on the process to use the lower post. I had placed it in the Big Game Hunting section, but as you pointed out Aloys, it will even work on a .22LR for small critters

A method to extend your hunting range with a duplex reticle

Still working up an article on using mil-dots for bullet drop compensation. Not sure I would say its easier than using mil-dots. If your only looking to bullet drop compensate out to one range past your zero, then I would agree with you. I like keeping things simple.
