Out of a 14.5" I get 350 ish yards.
carrying right around 400 foot pounds of energy. While the .22 mag only has 315 at the muzzle. I hope your not trying to run around telling people "herp a derp, 5.56 ain't much better then .22 mag" Spitzer bullet vs round nose. 45 maybe 50 grain max for .22mag vs all the different heavies for 5.56. edit. Did the math wrong. |

Go to hornady's ballistic chart-it's all there.

Are you saying that at 350 yards a 55gr 556 load is still carrying over a 1000 ft/lbs or energy? |

looks like they are close @ 225yds... 22WM 909ft\[email protected], 55grn vmax is about 904ft\lbs @ 1000yds and 45gn is about 890ft\lbs@1000
Not sure where you are going with this ? |

Are you saying that at 350 yards a 55gr 556 load is still carrying over a 1000 ft/lbs or energy? Yes it will, if you start with a 4500fps muzzle velocity. |

Y'all are right I get 401 at 350. Funny though the fps calc was still right. |

Aside from the energy, remember that the .224" bullet is substantially longer, which will cut a wider path.

Having shot several deer at 400-450 yards with 75 gr OTM they still do some significant damage. Wether from tumbling or bulket deformation I don't know as I never recovered one. 22 Win Mag will easily kill deer and hogs Inside 100 yards witha good broadside shot if that is what you are wondering. |

An expanding .270 in the same spot is likely to result in a much faster kill. But I think we're pretty much all on the same page here. |

reason for the question, 22 Magnum is pretty devastating at short ranges, impressively so.
