Of course they must be doing something illegal. BATFE will try and shut that down. I'd flip those azzhats the biggest bird they ever saw.

They should have those at rest areas and service plazas.

What I would like to know is, why doesn't the range allow jacketed ammunition? I don't see much full lead rounds. Maybe 22LR... maybe a few Cowboy rounds... 45 Colt, 44-40, etc. That's about it.

They might want to make changes if its a backstop problem. If the Libs get their way, before you know it bullets will come in unleaded or 10% ethanol blend.

Well, it might be a backstop problem, but I'd bet that since he happens to manufacture it, and sell it, and it happens to be otherwise rare, he's pretty happy with the market he's created.

The indoor range is what is limited to non jacketed, as well as a speed limit of 855 FPS.

At 855, you can watch a bullet go down range. That's pretty darn slow.

if its the choice between having the range in use with limits, or having to close it.... you make certain choices in life.
