Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

[Firth]

If you guys are using rimfires to do this are you staying with 100y or moving to 50y?

I just do 50 with half size targets with rimfire. Mostly because I'm lazy and it's slightly easier, but also because it takes the wind component out. The cheap ammo I like to use also seems hold up better at 50 versus 100. I.e. it's a lot easier to shoot an moa group with cheap rimfire ammo at 50 versus 100. Probably some of that is wind but I think velocity variation with the cheaper 22 ammo plays a role. Could be in my head, too (lol).

I ended up just printing them out at 50% size and using them at 50 yards. Same issues with ammo. I have something like 7500 rounds of cheap rimfire ammo to burn up and as you mentioned it can hold decent groups at 50 but not so much at 100y.
