Quote "Rifle @ 25 yards? Why?"

Hey, it can beat not shooting at all if 100 yards or better is not handy outdoors ...

And, coincidently, a 25 yard zero with many rifles whose sights (or especially) scope recticles are a couple of inches above the bore, makes 'em pretty close to dead-on at 200 to 250 yards.

Question: Why don't they allow FMJ ?

Various reasons by various ranges, but the most common (and often unknown) is that rifle-launched FMJs that hit short of the target on outdoor ranges can "skip the berm". Not a good thing unless you own lots of unoccupied land down range. And most ranges can not afford that.
