[QUOTE="Kid Colt, post: 831388, member: 8945"] I'm also a member at Red Castle. There is not any doubt that some FMJ is capable of penetrating steel. The range and thickness and exact bullet composition and load all play into it. I'm pretty sure that most all high power silhouette ranges ask that FMJ not be used but I haven't ever participated in Red Castle's matches and I honestly don't remember them saying it in orientation back when I went through years ago. I think that the bottom line is they are trying to prevent damage to the silhouettes which cost the club money and downtime to repair or replace and cost members in their ability to use the equipment for it's intended design. Being involved in other clubs at an officer level, I can personally attest to the fact that it does happen and it happens more often that you think. Sometimes you begin to wonder if people are destroying things on purpose. Anyway, I would suggest bringing it up at the next club meet this upcoming Monday for discussion if you feel strongly about it. Depends on your goal I guess? [/QUOTE]
