Interesting sv,might give this rd a whirl.

Leaning towards a new p shooter,ruger 10-22 heavy barrel,built in suppressor, adding this varmit rd would sweeten the purchase.

At 40gr,1195fps little slower than 22lr stinger 35gr but whocares,close enough,added range.

so what makes this super long range? Better BC? Higher velocity?

^^^^Extreme load consistency and subsonic velocity: IMO the difference is marketing to bolster a collector interest like Federal DeepShok and Winchester bismuth loads.

The majority of .22lr supersonic go transonic @ 75 or so yds: Bad things tend to happen in this transition to a heeled bullet/everything else: Conversely Federal did well in the '96 Olympics with their Gold Medal rds--40grn@1250ish. The cases have a sort of voodoo dimple in the head. I couldn't get a group smaller than a nickel @50 with them. Still have a handful somewhere in a baggie.

That is all.
