What do you use or what are you allowed to use at your indoor range ? For your AR 223 5.56 long gun shooting..Weight...Jacket..Tip..Etc.....

 

[Sosa]

anything other than steel core or green tip with the steel penetrator

So the common yellow box norinco 5.56 fmj should have a jacket over lead......Not a steel core ....Does this sound right to you guys?

Take a magnet to the bullet If it is at all attracted to the magnet it is forbidden for use in our clubs indoor range.

Yep!

Target Sports allows only frangible .223 and no metal jacket....if a magnet can pick up your bullets then its not allowed....as its stated in their site.

You will have to check your individual range rules. Our range only allows pistol calibers, no .223 at all.

While our range allows steel core up to most .50cal's except for .50BMG and it's not because the backstop isn't rated for it.. It's because of the concussion (as we only have an indoor facility).

Our local indoor range does not allow centerfire rifle ammunition. i agree with this rule at our range due to being hit by ricochetes at said range. If it were rifle ricochets indoor i would be scared at this place. Im sure some other ranges are designed differently and allow 223 and 556 etc

If you can't get on paper at an indoor range with a rifle, you got some SERIOUS issues. Now, if your backstop isn't rated for the ammo in question, that's a different story.

I'm pretty sure I know the range that Messy Pants in writing about. It's DVC in Coquitlam?

Rifle isn't allowed because it WILL damage the backstop. The steel they use is armor plate but it craters when hit with higher velocity ammo. And since many rifle rounds are well up over 2000 fps they simply said "No Centerfire Rifle Ammo".
