What is point blank range and how do you know what it is for a .22 magnum?

Point Blank refers to a range of 0.0 what ever. Depending on the weapon.
For a cannon it would be the closest distance that the round arms, for a shotgun it would be the range before the shot cup opens, for a rifle or pistol a range so close a point and shoot would get a hit on point of aim.

sRc,
You will need to find a trajectory table for the particular ammo you choose to shoot out of your maggy. Then zero your rifle in such a manner that the bullet never rises above the critter you are aiming at nor UNDER said critter when you hold dead center of your chosen target. I hope my explanation of point blank range is clear enough to help you.

I wonder where I could find the trajectory table?

.22 WMR, 40 grain = +1.5" at 65 yards, 0 at 107 yards, -1.5" at 123 yards.
--------------------------------
If you zero your maggy to strike 1.5" high at 65 yards, you will be dead on at 107 yards and only 1.5" low at 123 yards. This means that you could hold dead on a fox from spitting distance clear out to 123 yards. If you have a scope on your rifle, the bullet will strike low at ten feet or so. Just remember to hold a little high on those really close shots.
