Seriously, why no Russian ammo? It's steel cased, not steel cored. I don't use any with my handguns, but for my AK, it's actually preferred.

No steel cased because it messes up the guy that recycles our brass for us. Also steel case "could" have a steel core and the magnet misses it...


That being said:

THURS 9/20 THE RIFLE RANGE WILL OPEN AT 1PM.

We had to schedule repairs because unfortunately people are still sneaking steel core in and shooting it.

So then they charge $30/hour AND THEY KEEP OUR BRASS??

I always pick up my brass and have never had anybody say anything.

You are more than welcome to pick up your own brass. It's posted on the range rules. You just can't go past the firing line for safety's sake.

Yeah, Wolf, ___ bear, and other steel ammo typicaly uses a bi-metal jacket that can harm baffles and such. Most indoor places don't allow steel in any form.

Sucks that people cant be honest and just buy some ammo there or just get some xm193 for god sake, why waste your m885 or punish your gun with cheap steel that is not that accurate.

Rifle rounds that are steel core aka "penetrator" will go right through the traps. A few weeks ago we had the rifle range closed because someone had shot up the traps so bad we needed to do a full replacement on three of them.

Some people think its funny to circumvent the rules and hide the ammo from us, it causes lots of damage and in extreme cases can ricochet and kill someone.... Either way not a good story.
