Steel case ammo and indoor range

They want your brass, steel is worthless to them

Literally this. I never go to ranges. I always go to friends land and shoot.

>>31979505
That's what I figured. Part of the reason I hate going to ranges. If its not the other shooters its the owners who are assholes.

Glad I have access to land but the side of town I was on made that range more convenient.

Some of us live in shitty urban areas and are forced to shoot our rifles at 100 meters max.

>100 meters
that's still 300 feet. That's pretty far.

My range just says no AP or tracers. What state do you live in?

We don't allow steel case or core in our indoor range because it's a fire hazard and because of insurance policies. The backstop caught on fire because some dick shot steel core couple weeks ago

Lot of steel case has steel jacketed or cored bullets.
These pose a fire risk in the backstops.

Stupid question but what's the backstop of a range usually made of that can catch fire when hit by a steel core?

I'd like to know too, that always sounded like such a bullshit reason but maybe there is something, like sparks igniting some kind of soot and buildup like with what can happen with chimmney fires sometimes?

They reload customer brass, steel can't be reloaded.

to be honest it's pretty fucking stupid. The last range I was at that reloaded and sold ammo, the ammo was expensive and pure shit

One of my local ranges burnt down because some retard fired a tracer into the backstop.

That's literally it

> Hurr-durr they wanna steal ur brass
> Hurr-durr the range can burn down
Steel cased ammo is dirty as fuck. That's the problem. You guys have never had to clean a god damn indoor range before, it's fucking tedious or the range becomes absolutely disgusting as fuck.

The backstop can take anything thrown at it under what it's rated for forever and won't catch on fire unless nobody fucking cleans it. The filtration system is truly nightmare mode for indoor ranges.

Can't find the video but there is a video where a guy sweeps up dust in front of the firing line. He took it outside and set it on fire. It explodes.

Basically people shoot guns some of the power doesn't burn. Then other people shot steel ammo. The steel sparks when it hits shit and the range burns down.

you can't use those indoors in my state anymore because too many people were getting PTSD.
