How well does the following boolit shoot from the .257?

Can I exceed 22LR performance out to 100 yards? By that, I mean can I successfully snipe winged and smaller four-legged poachers from my groves out to 100 yards or so? For distances beyond that and larger varmints and predators (skunks, porcupines, coyotes, etc.) how will RCBS 257-120 perform? I know my '06 will handle any varmint job on my property, but I'd like to try something a bit more conservative on a short action without going too small and/or using expensive copper-patched varmint bullets in .224 caliber. I don't own a 22LR that I would bet on pass about 50 yards and given the ammo shortage, I need to hang onto my CCI hollow points.
Thanks for your input...
