Both are very critical at long ranges. Correct cartridge choice, good ammo, and a good rifle to shoot it.

A 22 rifle is still quite a good choice for a survival gun, precisely for it's low energy. You can shoot small game without damaging too much meat. And remember, a silenced 22 rifle is your #1 choice when the zombiepocalypse comes.
