I noticed on the box of .22 LR's it stated "Maximum Range 1 Mile".
Did I find that elusive round the U.S. military was looking for that was lightweight and long range?
Don't think so. I expect that range is when the round is fires at a 45 degree elevation, and there is no consideration when the round goes subsonic or tumbles.
If a .22 LR will actually travel 1 round, any idea how to calculate how far would larger rounds, 30.06, .50 BMG or others actually travel?
