    Out of state right now and a bit of a drive from denver, but do you have a link to info on it. What distances do they have for Long Range shooting? Do they limit caliber or ammo (Hope they allow M855)?

    Thanks,

    Looks like a great site. Out to 600 yds on the rifle range is pretty good. I am still hoping to find a range that has steel out to 1500yds.
    They say no armor piercing ammo, but I hope they don't try and classify M855 as AP like some ranges do as I like faster twist rate barrels.

    It doesn't if you are using the proper steel. 3/8th armor plating at 100+ yds does not dent

    Yes sir, I use 1/2' for my 1k yd targets and myself and Islandermyk shot them at 100yds with m855 and it does put a pretty significant ding in the steel
