Now that I've got that sorted, yes, I am REAL HAPPY with the MPR. I probably won't be shooting paper with it often as the main reason I got it was for field target use. And for the few times I might want to use it for the GTA 50-foot challenge matches, well, I guess there's no harm in using round nose pellets (other than for them being more difficult to score properly).

Cheers!

Why is it you have no choice other than to use wadcutters? Because of the lower power, right? And you must be shooting paper.


Yes standard 10m and 6yd NSRA card targets to roughly ISSF rules. I say roughly because the 2017 rules on butt stock dimensions will rule out all wooden stocked rifles unless you take a bandsaw to the stock. The level I shoot at we hope NSRA will not enforce it.
Only wadcutters allowed.
If we use 12ft lb at 6yd or even 10m theres too much chance of lead splashback. Bl**dy hot when it hits your face!
