A man was struck by a stray .22LR bullet recently. He was over a half-mile away from the shooter at the time. His injuries seem to be limited to a nosebleed.
I remember Pops showing me the box of ammo on the .22's we would shoot as a kid. The box always had a warning on it: "Range - 1 mile" and a word of caution.
As I got older, I questioned the range of 1 mile - it would have to be set up to exacting detail, much like the Mythbusters often do.
But we have a story here of a long range injury with a .22 - so I will reconsider and continue to handle my .22's properly.
