This is the new Russian non-corrosive stuff, can I use that at TSE?
 
As long as it's not steel cored, you should. Doesn't say in the ad... just says 'FMJ', so hard to tell.

When you get it, check with magnet... if it sticks, it's no good at TSE!
 
From all I have heard, this should be lead core, so good to go at TSE.

Remember, as long as it doesn't spark (steel core, steel jacket), set us on fire (incendiary, tracer), or punch through the backstop (AP), and is smaller than .50BMG, it's good to shoot in the rifle bay.

Oh, and no black powder.
 
Cool, still waiting for a reply from SFRC but it sounds like its a go.

A semi-jacketed bullet consisting of a metallic jacket and a lead core, had the same issue with S&B 7.62x39 at the edge when i first brought it in, after they did some background checks on it they let me fire it there
 
The pulled bullet sticks to a magnet, but it could be the metal jacket. Anyways, I have been shooting this ammo at The Shooting Edge and the staff said it is okay. There was the occasional spark at the back drop.
 
I was turned down at the edge where I'm a member when I brought In some mfs 762 x 39 soft point ammo. The magnet stuck so it was a no go. They were following the rules and that is fine but I was mad because I was sure it was lead core. I just pulled one and cut it open. It's all lead core with a mild steel jacket coated with copper. I'm goin to stop by and show them as I'm sure fmj lead core is fine but might spark a little.
 
I am really not sure why the case makes any difference

So what is the verdict on MFS soft point ammo for use in the range? I mean its soft point even though the case is zinc plated steel.

Aboslutely NOT!

We have had two small contained fires here due to "lightly" sparking 7.62x39 ammo.

If it's steel jacketed, it CANNOT be shot here.
