Bullet flys

[heavy metal]

I know a box of .22s says they can fly 1-1/2 miles, but how far will they really fly? I wanna try some of the trick shots Ed McGivern use to do. I'm concerned about distance of how far a .22 will fly if u shoot at a 45 degree angle. Does anyone have scientific info? How do u figure distance times degree.

Yes... they will go over a mile if fired at a 45 degree angle.
