Even if it is not on their list, as long as the student can show it is SAAMI approved, then they will allow it. They will NOT allow non-SAAMI ammo on the range.Feed&Guns wrote:BTW, and slightly off topic, I bought a bunch of ammo I don't normally shoot because I was being super anal about their specs. In the sheet we get it says it has to be SAAMI spec, and then they had a list. I made a point to buy American Eagle (Federal) for my 9mm and Rem UMC for my 38 (357). I normally either shoot my own reloads (although I'm a FFL 06, so technically it's factory remans or factory new depending on the brass) or Freedom Munitions (which is just a bigger version of what I do). I even brought my Sig 1911 (with the suppressor that was still on it from my previous range day) and plenty of 45 ACP just in case Murphy showed up to jack with my Glock.
Turns out, they let basically anything on. I saw several people shooting boxes of ammo that weren't on that short, specific list...including Freedom. I could have saved about $5/box by not rushing out to buy "listed" ammo and shot something I carry in my store.
Someone even asked or implied that someone could have their custom reloads and put them in a "Federal/Rem box" and they'd never know. They said they wouldn't know but they're just trying to keep the line safe Not sure how they'd be with some Wolf/WPA or TulAmmo since that's on their list. I have to believe it's SAAMI still, though.

Re: What Revolver did you shoot in your CHL Instructor's Cla
I used a Ruger Security Six that I bought in 1978 that has been tweaked and tuned with a really smooth trigger pull. It is one of my favorites for target shooting.
