That is aggravating. What is even more aggravating is when those same ranges ban aluminum and steel cased ammo. Last time I checked, the casings aren't going to damage the range, regardless of what they are mode from, so that always seems to just be laziness on top of greed, at least to me.
Just factor in the added "brass fee" when deciding which range to choose. At around 10 cents, or more, per case, it quickly adds up.
