Although I haven't tried anything over 53 grains wouldn't you need to be in the 70-grain weight for over 400 yards?

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Yes, 22's and 6mm's can work great for distance, in guns that are properly twisted, and using the heavy's in each caliber.
I would also prefer a bolt rig myself.
I am assuming you are talking about hunting big game?
I haven't done much hunting of big game deer/antelope with 22's, but they have worked for me.
I have used 6mm's more for sure (deer/antelope), but not at distances beyond 400 yards.
6mm for pd's-Yes! Past 1500 yards
