Re: Meet up?
Re: Meet up?
While obviously XM855 5.56 is steel core, I have found that some of the el cheapo Russian 5.56 is magnetic not because it has a steel core, but because they mix iron in with the lead to save money. Also, M80 7.62x51 has a bi-metal jacket and it will attract a magnet, but again it is not steel core. So, while I think that no steel core (5.56?) is an understandable rule, ammo that attracts a magnet is not necessarily the definitive test. No green tip penetrator is what they really mean, isn't it? Any clarification appreciated!baldeagle wrote:New information. I spoke to Austin at the Armadillo Range. They have 50 yard and 100 yard rifle bays. They don't allow rifle ammo that is steel core, so if your ammo is magnetic, you can't use it.

Any known ammo type restrictions on rifle? FMJ, Hollow point, both?baldeagle wrote:Yes, still at Armadillos. They have both rifle and pistol ranges, so you can bring both.

Likely some will always have a conflict. For me the 23rd is open, on the 30th I am doing some pre-planned defensive training which some of you may find of interest:baldeagle wrote:Well, there's no reason we can't push it back a week. How would that impact folks? The 30th is supposed to be just slightly cooler and cloudy.

It's about 10 minutes from Big Daddy's (6 miles up 78) and a much nicer range IMHO than Garland. I haven't shot there on Saturdays so I don't know how busy they are then.
Sounds like a good suggestion!
