Now a question:
let's say you bench rest a .22 pistol..any pistol....and you get it sighted to produce targets as above(or better)....at 25 YARDS....
The you move the target to 50 YARDS.....how much, if any will the bullet drop?? if at all.
No changes to the Bench rested pistol,other than proper sight picture( that is no sight adjustments on the pistol) and using the same ammo.....

I typically shoot at both 25 and 50 yards (Bullseye) using a [Texas] High Standard Victor and Ultradot with Aquilla SV ammo.
I don't change the sights at all.
in fact, regardless of the ammo I use, I don't change the sights. I think if you look at the ballistics curve for most .22 LR ammo, you'll see the bullet climbing at 25 yards and dropping at 50 yards, with the apogee about 38-40 yards.
