I have never seen a target like this before where you can see the rifling so clearly. I was shooting off hand at 25 yds with a 44SBH with Lyman 429244s over 20 gr of 2400. It looks like ridges left by the rifling groves were sharp enouch to, in some places, scrape off the black ink but not cut the paper.

Obviously, the paper is swageing your boolits down. Good thing it was a 44 or you might have been injured by a ricochet.

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
sharpshooter! That was too funny!
sharpshooter - You may be right. Would a harder boolit help this problem?

Another strange thing about that target...the highest you can score on it is 6.
If you hit closer to the center, you only get 01.

Charlie; thats because you are on the front range, if you were on the west side, it would merely be upside down!!!!!!!!
Now I'll have to check my next targets, just to see......

Did I ever mention that I hate to trim brass?
I've seen that before, and in my experience it is most closely related to the material behind the target. If you have a smooth piece of stiff board you get prints like these. If you have an old board with a thousand staples in it, it'll never happen. We had some short-lived fiber-board you could put tacks into that did this, but it didn't stand up to use.

Cool!
That is not a 01....it is a 10....shooting upside down in a mirror.....!
That is cool marking though.

Are you in need a pan lube cutter?

NO you guy have got it all wrong!! There is no trick shooting involved. montana charlie has it right. I post my targets this way when my wife goes with me. Since I shoot rings around her (I shoot the rings and she shoots the center) I always get a higher score than she does. It's the only I can beat her.

Nah!! they bleed across on Hiway 2 from Kalispell and Hiway 200 from Missoula and a few make it this far north from Bozeman if the govmint pays their way.
Swaging paper? Did I miss that post and where do you buy it??

If'n ya had used some of Waksupi's loob grooves, it woulda smoothed those ragged edges right out!

Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
I think those are targets for the southern hemisphere shot with wallaby balls.
Owwww poor wallaby!!!!!!
The problem in America today is, there are to many fools making to many rules that don't apply to themselves. Now just wait until the new pres. takes office and see what happens!!!!!
Maybe you should put a sheet of aluminum up there for a backer and make gas checks as you shoot.
