Why is it EVERY RANGE always checks for steel case ammo?

Because they usually keep the fired brass to reload and resell. You can't reload steel case.

they cant pick up the brass to resell if it is steel, thats why

Because people are lazy cunts who don't cleanup after themselvs.

If outdoors, they likely want to reload, so steel doesn't suit their needs.

If indoors, steel traps generally do not react well against bi-metal or steel jacketed ammo.

I worked at an indoor range and we didn't care about cases, but steel projectiles and AP stuff was no-go.

Steel is magnetic and when you fire a steel bullet you are causing its magnetic field to widen due to the bullet spin which can throw off other people's shots.

Take a science class, kid.

The indoor ranges I go to always forbid the steel case ammo, even if the tip is copper just like the brass. Not sure why.

Fucking /k/. Steel case ammo can spark upon impact with the ground setting off a deadly chain reaction to all the gunpowder in the air. In this event you must grab you balls and yell "can't get me i'm on R&R leave" to be safe from the explosion.

most steel cased ammo is bi-metal jacketed, causes damage to the backstops at indoor ranges, they're just being greedy cunts if it's an outdoor range tho.

Any proof of this? I've never heard of this actually happening.

Its shocking that you can figure out how to post

>a spark setting off alleged airborn explosives
>fireballs shooting out of the muzzle of every gun on the range
You're getting worked son.

Happened at the US Glock test range.
There is usually a small amount of unburnt powder after every shot. This can build up, especially in sound baffles, and is a fairly serious risk since it's damaged with most of the deterrent coatings burnt off.
Another large hazard is the fine dust from shot paper targets. Hot steel from bullet jackets will easily ignite this.

because they want to resell your brass

This

When they bring the brass to be recycled, if theres any steel, the whole batch will be rejected until removed

If only they invented something that would let you quickly separate brass from steel.
Too bad no one knows to how make something like that.

Their insurance companies. Steel case usually means steel core or steel jacket (or bi-metal, whatever) which means sparks, which means fire risk.
