[cups.general] Probably silly Q...

Greetings;

I have been using a downloadable target for my benchrest shooting 
activities for quite a while, printing it on the usual 24lb 
superwhite inkjet paper.

Unforch, this papers rag content is so high that the bullets do not 
punch clean holes, but rip out for as much as a half an inch around 
the hole even for bullets doing 3k feet per second at the target.  
And much much worse for the relatively slow lumbering beasts a black 
powder rifle throws, where a half inch bullet makes a very ragged 
hole often ripped out for 3/4" of an inch all around.

Can someone suggest a paper thats both decently white, and has the 
generally clean punching of the yellowed 25 to 30 lb thick pulp 
newsprint these are normally printed on?  Something I can actually 
find at Staples or Office Max?

Cheers, Gene
