Best Answer

The answer depends on the barrel elevation angle, the bullet weight, bullet velocity, and the ballistic coefficient of the projectile. Do a Google search on "ballistic calculator" and you will be led to several sites that will let you input those variables and then will provide the answer you seek.

SIMPLER ANSWER: If you mean the maximum range a .22LR (.22 long rifle) bullet will travel if you fire it into the air at an angle (let's say around 30 to 40 degrees), that's about 1.5 miles or about 2000 meters.

If you mean the maximum effective range to use a .22LR gun for hunting or target shooting, most people would say that 100 yards is the limit unless you have an amazingly accurate gun with an excellent scope fired from a steady bench rest support. Then you could go to 200 yards after some practice and assuming little wind that day.
