I started out filling plastic tubs the size of cream cheese containers.
After several years of intensive and exhaustive study I decided they were too big and easy to hit with anything other than a handgun, even though the "explosion" is very satisfying. So now I'm freezing water in those little tubs that Jello comes in. At 50 yards and out, they make a good target with a .22 rifle (or handgun, if your not a shaky old goober like me). And still a satisfying "explosion." Also have the advantage of getting more targets in the cooler.
Note: My daughter and I conducted extensive testing using various shapes. Our considered opinion is that the round shape caused a much more satisfying "explosion". YMMV
Note: Very green, no cleanup required (or maybe... possible?).
