I just read an article on the 224 and played around

A little with the Ballistics and at 1300yds it drops 61 feet and with a 10 mph wind drift is 12.5 ft. With a 24” barrel. Maybe with the right kind of platform and a little luck I might be able to hit something, but a 300 win mag would do a lot better as would a lot of other calibers. I carried a M-16 for a few years and have AR-15s and they aren’t the platform I’d want to use for long range shooting, but then I don’t have any desire to shoot that far anyway. What little I’ve read on it was a lot of BULL. The big difference between it and other 22 cal guns they were talking about was the bullet they used not the caliber. They use a long 90gr bullet (B.C. over .500) compared to 55 or 60gr. Lower B.C. Bullets in other .22 cal cartridges. I don’t know much, but I know that was a wast of my time.
