yes, it would fly straight through you

for 99% of people, they would only be hitting you by chance at that range, and while no puncture would is good, there is no guarantee of lethality, worse case scenario is it still has some momentum and hits a rib, making it tumble through your organs...it would be just about the poorest choice you could make for a sniper rifle, only a shotgun might be a worse choice.

they're drawing a lot of conclusions about lethality, and accuracy. again i say, while it is possible to hit someone that far, and kill them, you would have to be HIGHLY skilled with a damn nice rifle...most people's skill level would drop the range to under 250 yards, and the lethality to maybe 50%...maybe.
for every clean hit they're showing, you'll have one that gets blown off course or gets deflected by twigs, or hits at an angle an either glances off or turns sideways, which i've seen on small game, with much smaller, less dense bones than an adult human being.
bottom line, if you send two guys out to hunt each other, one with a 22, and one with a 30-06, i know who i'll be betting on, everything else being equal.

My rifle is only a .280, but it has a little powder behind it. Remington 7 MM Mag.

that would be good for up to 400, if you're a good shot. realistically, 200 is pushing it for a 22lr

I like my .17HMR over a standard .22 round. I have a legally owned suppressor for my .22 and I love shooting it but just for plinking targets. The .17HMR is great for small game or a high powered air rifle works too.

I was just telling my kids how I would read all the cereal box’s growing up and the shampoo bottles in the bathroom I know how to lather rinse and repeat on atleast forty different brands of shampoo

lol, .22 is fatal up to whatever range it can hit you at... I would say about 400m for the best .22s, after that good luck hitting any target with any kind of accuracy but luck.

My everyday carry was a .223 but these rounds made more of an impact…

Come on, that's just an invitation for foreplay.
