The competition that I'm practising for is a 10 shot stage so I need to shoot 10 shots. Good point re flat noses. I use those for 10 m but didn't think to try them at longer distance. Does anyone know how they would do at 25 yd?

Can't use hard board as my target backing is a box which starts with carpet to minimise noise as 100 shots per day on a hard target back may draw unwanted attention...

Does anyone know the size of the 25m 22LR 10 target 'sheet's. From memory it appears to be A4 ish size but I haven't been able to get the exact dimensions.
