It's not that far, really. The round will hit and hit accurately at that distance, if you do your part. Spotting scopes help check your hits. Steel is another great target. I've done 100 yard shots with my MK II .22 on rams for 1/2 scale silhouette. (1/2 the size of a high power silhouette--not 1/2 scale rimfire.) I used to plink at 200 yard gongs with my Ruger Blackhawk with some hot SWC .357 loads. That was more miss than hit, but awfully fun. Check out the "high point in my handgun hunting career" post and look at the 175 yard shot that man made. They'll do it.
