There's a general prohibition at the steel shoot I attend on Saturdays against rimfire, because of an apparent increase in ricochets. Targets are between 10 and 15 yards. At 1000+ fps from a 5" barrel, 36gr Federal bulk should disintegrate just fine against hardened steel, right? Or is there in fact more bounce-back from rimfire?

What I was told recently at an outdoor range was that the steel responsive targets could be PENETRATED by .22LR, because the bullet is so small.. and that it would eventually damage them... so they wouldn't let me shoot the steel targets, only paper targets.
THe larger calibers, they said, wouldn't go through the steel, due to lower muzzle velocities and more distributed impact.. but .22LR was verboten.
Just repeating what the rangemeister told me...
