.22 LR at those extended ranges won't have much punch. Likely not enough to disable the target.

100 yds in, in the hands of a marksman would be lethal.
It might be lethal at 100 yards but I won’t bet my life on it. We shoot .22lr a lot at our outdoor range. At that range it won’t penetrate an alloy US penny. What it does it will push the penny through the cardboard that hold it or the penny will deflect the .22lr bullet. The penny does bend or crack when the bullet is deflected. Please note that we only use Federal and Remington .22lr lead hp. These loads are sold at Wal-Mart.
