[QUOTE="Uncivil, post: 864360, member: 9309"] Its an indoor range and I have no idea the reason. Perhaps the lead contamination of sweeping it up? Their ammo rules are below. Full cast lead, snake/bird shot, armor piercing, and tracer ammunition is strictly prohibited. This includes all steel jacketed, steel bullet or steel core rounds. These rounds can severly damage the backstop and are a fire hazzard. Anyone caught violating this rule will be banned from the range and his or her membership revoked. All ammunition (except rim fire 22)must have at least a partial metal jacket, full metal jacket, or jacketed hollow point. TFTA employees are required to inspect all outside ammunition. I had thought about one of the other clubs for sure. Eventually I would like to have some different arms to shoot aside from my pistols and the 22. Definately a consideration when evaluating what I can afford to spend on shooting next year. With respect to lead cast bullets what would be the con of them? More barrel cleaning? I do a pretty thorough cleaning after each range session anyhow. [/QUOTE]
