Usenet Newsgroups Re: OK Experts - Can a .22 LR travel 1.3 miles From: gwhite@alum.mit.edu (Doug White) In the old days, most .22 long rifle ammo was marked "range of 1 mile".  However, that was pretty much all stadard velocity 40 grain bullet stuff.  With high velocity ammo and .22 magnums, etc., it's possible to go a lot further.  This issue has come up before.  Check out:   The conclusion is that at 1 mile, a typical .22 would only be going 200 to 300 fps, which puts it below pellet gun velocities. On the otherhand, if it was a .223, all bets are off.
