Until the pandemic I was shooting Standard and Sport pistol comps at 25m on the turning targets at Bisley with an LP50 and R10 pellets. Scoping the holes is easy as it produces nice sharp holes, you will not get that with domed pellets. I have a full size pistol and will do a complete course of fire on one cylinder - 60 shots plus 5 sighters those that use compacts generally change their cylinders at 30 shots just to be safe. We do not crank up the output as it is not needed and seems to be far more reliable than those using real pistols to do the same thing but they do make bigger holes!
