200 yard .22LR
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what .22LR to use at 200 yards?
The CCI MiniMags do well at 100 yds but I need to order a riser for my rear sight in order to get the elevation so I have not tried them at 200 yet.

This is what we will be shooting.
Until I heard about this match last week and began preparing for it it never really occured to me to actually try shooting .22 from prone at 200 yards.

You sure you want to shoot .22LR @ 200? You're talking about a 32" drop.

I am leaning towards this ammo. http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.e ... mid=549969
Thanks Eoin, it didn't occure to me to weigh the whole rounds.
Here is a link to the match bulletin

I have located a used sight riser block for the rear sight that should give me plenty of elevation.
According to Karl's chart, since my rifle is zeroed at 100 yards my POI will be 32" low at 200 yards.
My sight radius is 31.25" and I need to raise the POI 32" at 200 yards or 7200", so, (31.25x32) / (200x36) or 1000 / 7200 = .139" of additional rear sight elevation. THEORETICALLY!
