While I was practicing some of my usual "aim small / miss small" exercises at the range this morning, one of the ROs was watching and asked me if I had ever tried splitting a piece of cardboard at that distance (25'). I told him that I had not but I didn't see any reason that I couldn't, so I tore the flap off of one of my ammo boxes, taped it on end on the backer board sent it down to the 25' mark. I loaded my MKIII (Williams Fire Sights) with 4 rounds of Federal 550 with the following results (my goal was to split it twice) 
The 1st round landed a bit right. The second was very close and left a scorch line but no dice
. The third was a direct hit
. The 4th hit was again just to the right near the bottom
. All in all, I wasn't disappointed in my 1st attempt of splitting cardboard
