That calculator is very useful! Thank you! Looks like both a .17 and a 22lr will be in the dirt well before 500 yards.
Dave and RAH,
Thanks for the scope inputs. I will definitely keep it in mind when I buy!
Bill you should compare the .22 magnum not the .22long rifle, two entirely different cartridges, scope - 3x9 x 40mm Leupold is a great scope that will last a lifetime
