Non-FMJ range ammo

[Tony]

The indoor range where I practice does not allow FMJ ammo. I use a 1911 and a .40 XDM. Any suggestions of practice ammo?

I am assuming you don't reload that cast bullets are not your answer...?

Are JHPs ok or are all jacketed bullets verboten?

Find a new place to shoot or frangible ammo.

No FMJ is stupid and unreasonable rule. Find a new range. Best to let ranges with stupid rules go out of business.

If you still want to go Cabelas sells Herters ammo with an aluminum case and nylon jacket. I would take my own reloads with cast bullets caked in too much bullet lube so it smokes the place out.

Dumb rule..IMHO find a new range or learn to reload w lead bullets. dumb rule.

I thought some ranges were requiring full jackets to reduce lead splatter/dust?

[dkf]

Ranges all over come up with some hair brained rules. I even saw on another site the range complaining because a guy was shooting bullets coated with the Hitek coating and they had a mild plastic smell when shot. Ranges that don't want reloads, steel cased, no cast bullets, no bullets with exposed bases, you have to leave your brass on the floor and etc. Like I said before best to find somewhere else and let the crap ranges fold up.

I belong to a club with an older indoor range. Their rule is NO jacketed bullets and no magnum calibers. Their reasoning is it beats up the back stop too much.
Also it makes recovery and recycling of scrap lead from the traps easier.

Cast/swaged lead is OK as is frangible.

I agree. It is an absurd rule.
