Update :
Prvi soft point is pretty awful in my rifle. Shot both targets at 300m with both types of ammo and not a mark on the targets, so I'm very pleased that I'll be using these long into the future.

Not a mark! Are you sure you hit them with that awful PPU ammunition?

That was with the FMJ. The results with the soft point at 300m weren't great, as as soon as I'd seen the splash and corrected my holdover, the two of us consistently missed the gong entirely.
This was with the .223, Prvi soft point is really very good in my .308, and I wouldn't have any hesitation shooting these targets with the more powerful rifle next time.

Even with the steel penetrator of the SS109 the only thing to take a bashing is the paint even at distances way less than 100yds.
If you clip the edge of the target then there is a bit of snarling but otherwise no issues. They'd last forever with 22LR.
