As long as you are shooting a good steel (one suitable to take the impact) your should be good to go. With the max velocity of the .22 being just slightly over 1000 fps usually (out of a pistol), a good safe distance is about 10-15 yards minimum. Copper plated ammo is just fine as well. But please, wear safety glasses.
25 feet is a little on the close side. Push the target out a little bit further.
In competition I have shot steel that was barely inside of that "safe" distance and it most always gets me caught with shrapnel that usually breaks skin and draws some blood.
