22 Magnum Any Good at 100 yards??? 

As a Poor Boy back in the 50's, a single shot 22 always kept Food on the Table, you just learn to Take your Time with All Shots--we didn't know what a scope was!!!

22 mag. The most underrated cartridge of all time. Hits as hard at two hundred as a 22 lr at one hundred yds. The 2nd most underrated cartridge is in fact the 22lr. Great video.

22 Mag is an under rated cartridge.. when everyone was hoarding the 22Lr’s I’ve seen plenty of 22 mags on the shelves.. not a lot of ppl have firearms chambered in this caliber for some odd reason..

About 25 years ago I picked up a new (back then) Marlin bolt action tube fed .22 mag. Slapped a 3-9 scope on it, zeroed it in and shot 5 shots through one ragged hole at 100 yards. Moved out to 200 yds and shot a 5 shot group under 1". I still have it, and it still shoots the same after hundreds of rounds. Rifles come and go, but that little Marlin ain't going anywhere!!!

The fact you stayed so chill after losing your clip and ammo I woulda packed her all back up, ended the whole video, headed home and yelled at the neighbors kids and tried again next week.

I like the 22 magnum, about 40 years ago. My grandfather in law has about 2,000 acres. Outside of Bandera Texas he had a jackrabbit problem, there were eating up his crops. So at dusk. my wife drove the pickup truck and I was shooting off at the top of the cab with mounted spotlights. I shot 32 jackrabbits. It took all night, but he paid me $5 a rabbit. I thought that was pretty cool, and I was having a damn good time!

I'm a 22mag fan and would like to see more vids with it. Both pistol and rifle.

Love the way you don't edit out your mistakes. Keep up the good work and "Keep the faith"

Many moons ago, when I was knee high to a grasshopper, we used 22 LR for everything. Rabbits, quail, varmints, coyotes. Shots ranged from point blank, to 50 yds, to 150 yds. Shot placement was key to success. And we were successful. As time went by, all the magazine gurus kept saying we didn't have "enough gun". Well, successfully using the tools you have is more important than what someone else thinks. Anyway, graduation to the 22 mag showed us that it was better for our purposes, so the 22 mag became the main tool. It gave an additional 50 yds reliably. Something occasionally important. Enough stories. A couple of shots appeared to be affected by the wind. This will open up groups (of course). A couple of shots seemed to have a mind of their own, so yes, definitely, try another brand. All rifles will have a favorite brand/bullet weight. Some rifles shoot all well, but even those rifles will show a preference. So try different brands to search for that preference. A modern synthetic stocked Savage should be capable of minute of angle or better (one inch at 100 yds). Keep trying. You'll get there. The only Savage that I ever had trouble with was the double barrel 410/22 mag. Come to find out, back in the old days, those guns were bored through from a single steel blank. Can anyone say "metal stresses"?

I like to shoot 3 rounds before making any adjustment.

I’d hope 22 mag would be good at 100 yards I can still hit a 8 inch steel gong at 250 with a 22lr

22 mag or 22 wmr however you prefer has got some smack when it hits at 100yd, very versatile round light ballistic tips to 50gr hollow points. Mine will put hornady 45gr ftx into 0.6"@100, definitely a fan

Is it still a 22 Mag if you lose the Mag?

This is one of my favorite ones to plink around with. Thanks for all ya do Who Tee Who a modern day gun slinger. 👍🇺🇸

I started shooting 22 rifles about 73 years ago. I stayed with iron sights until about 10 or 12 years ago and my eyes started to get old so I switched to scopes. I have eight scopes on my long guns oh, they're all 3 to 9 I have never felt the need to adjust the zoom zooms on any of them when I've ever been shooting. Thank you for your very entertaining blogs

I love when you do a video your very simple No expensive targets No fantasy equipment , just down to earth testing and you explain things in a way that is easy to understand I really enjoy them , P.S. when I say no expensive equipment I’m not talking about you firearms because you have a fine collection

Back in the early 70's my buddy and I made a nice chunk of change hunting hides and the 22 Mag was our go to caliber. We took yotes, cat's, fox and anything else that would bring a buck. My go to rifle was a Marlin 783 with a K-6 Weaver, made numerous head shots at 100 yards, hit them any where else and a 125 dollar Bob Cat would get docked 40-50 bucks. I've got a 17 HMR and a 17 WSM both will have to go a long way to catch up with the old Marlin.

I picked up a savage model 93 with a 3-9-40 yesterday, looks brand new! When I read the barrel WHO-TEE-WHO was the first thing I thought of.👍

I have the same Savage 93 and it’s shoots great. I have used Hornady, Winchester, Remington, and Federal Ammo and pretty much the same results all good. But keep up the good work enjoy your channel.

Having your gun barrel on the rest not on the stock will effect accuracy.

Yes it is if you can shoot. I’ve taken quite a few animals at 100+ yards with my 22 magnums. Bad ass little round! 🤘

Always enjoy your videos! Hope that you find that magazine before it rains! My experience with scopes is limited, I've only been using them for 50 years and the one brand that I have used in that time has been Leupold. Not a single failure of any kind and I could not begin to recall the number of small and medium game that I have taken using them, or the number of big game. If you are looking for quality American made rifle scopes that will not let you down with a life-time of hard use, I would give Leupold my money and not look back! I enjoy a good .22 mag. rifle, but to me, its the man behind the rifle that counts. Keep making these great videos and GOD Bless my friend!

I have a mossberg model 640T with a vortex diamondback 3-9x40 and it is a nail driver @75. Absolutely love the 22 mag for the availability of ammo and the extra power it has over the 22lr for hunting.

I have my dads old Marlin 25MN 22mag. Ordered extra mags for it. Learned to shoot on a Marlin model 60 and a glenfield. All iron sights at 100yds with a 22 long. Got the 22 mag and shot prairie dogs at 150 yards. plenty of this caliber at home with extra mags.

My 40yrs old Anschütz 1516 loves the Hornady V-max 30grs. Although less weight best precision at 100m (of course no wind!). Just love your 'dramatic report' in some videos, good job man! Greetings from Germany!

Way I was shown to sight in my rifle if I had a good rest like you've got, is to take 2 shots, adjust my rest until the crosshairs are on where I just hit, then crank the turrets until the crosshairs are back on the bullseye. Save a ton of ammo that way. No telling you what to do just something to for you to try out if you wanted to. As always, thank you for the content.

Always been a fan of the cci maxi mags. They work great in my single six.

Love shooting 22 Mag out of my Ruger Precision and Henry GB! Can't wait for your results.

I love me some 22 mag. That was some good grouping at 100 yards with the wind blowing!

22 mag versus 17 HMR penetration test 100 yards paper plates or ballistic gel

In Aus I used a 22 mag as my fox rifle for years, (back when there was a skin trade), had no problems with head shots out to 200 consistently! I was surprised at this group at 100, woeful I’d say, musta been doing a lot of things wrong or in middle of cyclone! My rifles nothing flash; 80’s era micro groove marlin bolt action with 6x40 Leopold, Winchester hp ammo! Cmon man! 😅 shot better groups than that at 100yds with me 22lr pistol!! No offense but that’s not a true reflection of 22mag’s capabilities!! 💥

Built my own 22 mag bolt action rifle, reciever made from scrap carbon steel tubes, barrel is a chromoly steel with 1:16 twist rate, 16 inches.. got good groups up to 100 yards especially the CCI ammo... Love the 22 mag and it has become my favorite hunting buddy since then, never stopped bringing wild boars and wild chickens to table. Shot a deer once too, low neck shot and it didn't had a chance to stand again..

I shoot a lot of .22 mag from my smith model 48. I have cronoed alot of ammo in it. Out of its 6 inch barrel, I get 200ft/lbs of energy with aguila. That's about 50ft/lbs more than a .22lr rifle. It's my favorite caliber and it's easy to find.

Absolutely my favorite rimfire cal. Have 7 bullet slingers in .22mag, favorite is my heavy barrel stainless marlin bolt 97 (I think). If you wanna try a .22 mag firebreather, test a pmr30 keltec! Love my mags!

I still would love to have a full auto 22WMR PDW type gun in my collection. Actually, part of the reason why I wanted to open my own 07/02 at home is to make some really unusual, highly specific designs with readily available resources that could fill specific roles for specific people (LE/Mil.)

Great video man loved every second of it. Just a word of advice try to keep the barrel of the gun off the rest and use the stock instead. Having the barrel on the rest can mess with the harmonics and throw your accuracy a lil out of wack

My 22mag experience has always been very close group’s I’ve taken turkey at 100 yards many times over the years . All shot in the head two even at 75 to 85 yards with open sights one with peep. Have out shot 223s at 100 yards five shots slightly over one hole. So the 22 mag is deadly at 100 yards and a bit farther.

I got a .17 hmr. Absolutely love it, flips gophers about 6 foot in the air. Goal by the end of the year is to own a 22 mag and 17wsm rifle

Used a .22 cal. mag fired out of a Taurus Tracker with a 6" inch barrel to take out a varmint at 125 yards. Open sights using a little Kentucky windage at the top of his back. Did not think I would hit him but was surprised when it knocked him to the ground! Deadly round ! Your video using a long barrel just proves my point! PO

I'm looking forward to this.

Hey I always watch your videos. I've heard sometimes with scopes (especially the cheaper ones) when you adjust the zero it can stay "stuck" or not move. If you lightly tap them it helps move the inner tube that has the reticle. Also, I like to only adjust up/down or left/right, supposedly it's easier on the inner tube. Just my two cents, big fan and always watch your videos. 👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Just a helpful tip, when shooting from a rest, try not to rest the barrel on directly one the rest. Won't make a lot of change at short distance, but as you get to further distances, it can have an effect(especially with free floating barrels).

Always love your videos brother. Thanks again

Wind may have been affecting the performance a bit. The difference between the .17 & the .22 mag is that the mag left bullets out there, the .17 left metal shavings

My savage 93 loves cci hollow points and Winchester super x soft hollow points. I often get 2cm groups at 100m (I'm a kiwi we use metric lol) I've got the stainless barrel but I can't imagine that making much difference

Love the .22 mag. Great little round. I agree that you should try different brands of ammo.

I have one of those exact .22 mags. Mine loves the solid point followed closely by the hollow point. The Vmax varmint loads hit nearly a full inch right at 25 yards. I use it to critter hunt at night. Handy little rifle.

.22 mag is my favorite round. Best all year all around hunting round in my opinion. Will take any game deer/hog and smaller. Hits hard, shoots straight, with nearly no recoil. Out of a rifle, it's great. Comparable to a 9mm pistol.

My marlen loved Winchester Dyna point semi- jacket hollowpoint. Iaveraged 4 out of 5 in a dime at 100 yrds

My kind of adjustments. Seams about right! Yep.

love watching your vids wtw. keep em comming!!

That is an encouraging first group. Hope you found your magazine. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes from Nelson, New Zealand.

You need to put a leupold on that thing! I got a new England single shot 22 mag and have a leupold rifleman 3x9x40 on it and it drives tracks at 100 yards!

I once read that the .22 magnum is more accurate in rifles than in revolvers. All I only know is that an Astra revolver that I used was highly accurate out to 30 yards.

A tip that I do. To help scope cross-hairs to seat after adjusting dials is to lightly tap the blank side of the dial body of scope with my knuckles. I have seen people chase a scope around a target or say you need to fire a few rounds to get it to seat or blame the scope or even the gun

I just started using scopes too but learning to sight it in at 25 and then 50 should fine tune the scope with 5 to 10 shot groups. Wherever the hole is the biggest is usually the hotspot.

Before I watch the video, the answer is: hell yeah, all I shoot is .22 wmr and hell yeah it kills a whole bunch of animals from small to large (strategically placed).

I got a Marlin model 25 in 22 mag I know what it will do to knock out slugs from a electrical panel ! No tellin what Hootie’s gonna do !! Bring it on ! I got faith in ya

Awesome video WTW! I like that rifle a lot! Thanks for sharing bro!

Definitely a huge fan of the .22 wmr. Yeah I had to play with a few different brands of ammo to get the one my Marlin liked best. Sweet caliber

The Savage model 64 'Chuckster' 22mag is a tack-driver

G/day mate I have the same rifle and I use the Hornady Critical Defense 45 gran the gun really likes them

I have a 22mag barrel for my g1 thompson contender. Love that gun!

I always enjoy your firearm videos more than anyone else’s on you tube!! Any man that loves 45-70 is alright in my book!! I have a Marlin 1895 Cowboy action model so 45-70 is my favorite round!! My favorite is the Hornady 250 grain mono flex hollow point ammo!! They have a great velocity and 250 grain ain’t too small of a chunk of copper!! As far as this Rossi rs 22 magnum if I ever have the dough for the rifle and at least a red dot I will for sure purchase one!!

I'm so looking forward to this video

Buddy. My day starts just like yours. Pissed myself laughing.

Another thing about 22 mag is they have impressive penetration. I had a small panel of 3A armor I shot with my mag a while back, went through on every shot and the 3/4 inch of pine board it was taped to. Same panel already with 5 holes in it stopped every single round of 9mm I threw at it

It might be the barrel warming up as you shoot, changing the impact point. I use a digital thermometer to load a round at the same temperature and time my shots to offset temperature related issues. Let the barrel cool down between shots to simulate a cold barrel.

I have the same savage rifle and I love it. I actually just bought a red dot site for it. You should do a video on that

I’d like to see more 22WMR videos & if you can find some try Hornady 30 grain V-Max bullets. My rifle really likes those bullets even when shooting 75 yards or more.

Nice shootin’ Tex, er Who-Tee-Who, another awesome video! Keep them coming.

Awesome video. The 22mag is very popular vermint round here usa. And very popular with the Australian guys.

It would be awesome to see you do a ballistic gel test at 25, 50, 75, and 100 yards with the .22 mag!! I'm very interested in seeing the penetration that it has past 50 yards!

The mag was in it when you're up in the booth, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. I would check by the stool that you are trying to set on.

Nice target! Those are the absolute best. Thanks for the videos, cheers!

One of the best and most real videos I have ever seen.

You always have the most random issues lol makes the videos that much better

Hope you find your mag. My daughter lost 1 in the field while bouncing round on the back of the bike. Found it the next day. Being stainless it stood out amongst the grass in the light

nice group. Love the 22WMR

That’s why I like a tube fed .22 and .22 mag. Good video

Hey I recommend buying a smith and Wesson 15-22 sport. It is chambered in 22lr and it’s awesome it’s like $350 and it comes with a 25 round mag. It works well with federal champions and it’s super acurate and real fun to shoot, I will be very happy if you get it and if you do you won’t be disappointed.

Try solid tip ammo, i prefer the cci maxi mag for my 22 mag. It shoots very accurately

Good video man!good group!anxious to try my new marlin xt 22. 22mag!

Great vid again. Looked windy as. Glad you found your mag!

Sweet! now move up the range to 22 Hornet. Then keep going through the whole 22 range. Should be a fun video, each time!

I'll bet that wind is affecting the trajectory of the projectiles.

I have the same 22 mag. and love it and I also have the same 17 HMR but with a Bull Barrel enjoyed it

Great Vdo - I've a Savage B22 MAGNUM G - 22WMR. One of my most accurate rifles out to 100-yards.

I have twin Rugers. One 77/17 the other 77/22 magnum. The 17 is a tiny bit more accurate, but the 22 magnum has more stopping power. I've had ground hogs get away with the 17 but not the 22 magnum

Hope you find your magazine. Probably came out when you fell off the bench and it bounced nearby.

I have ruger with vortex and I love it I even took scope off threw the scope up in air couple times remount scope still stayed sighted in

Can always count on ya videos to put me in the spirit

Im going to say yes but can't wait to find out

Adjust your scope after 3 or 4 shots, not after every one.

As always great job 👍

I liked your plan to test at 100 yds. Several years ago I tested the CCI 22 mag, the Federal 50gr mag and the Winchester .40 mag. The Winchester yielded a 3 inch group, CCI 4inch and Fed 5 inch ( measurements are not exact but approximate but WMR mag was the easy winner). The Fed being heavier was quite a bit slower. Hope your tests go smoother next time, bummer without the magazine! Jay

Pretty good accuracy despite resting the barrel rather than the fore stock. If it was a larger caliber with more recoil it would be difficult getting good results since the barrel would tend to jump more violently. Perhaps It was also a bit windy with the camera shaking like that?

Hey wtw! I’ll be watching

I'm gonna get my son a ruger 10/22. I think he will enjoy it. Thanks for another great vid

Oh yeah, awesome video as always Bro.
