I just called Elm Fork today and they said NO FMJ. Soft point or frag only on 100 yard range.

I wanted to clarify (even though no clarification was necessary) and they said no fmj (magnetic or non magnetic).

I will still have to drive to Gibson's Outpost to shoot 100 yd fmj.

they said that the 100 yd range will open on Sat Aug 9th as scheduled.

I know the issue of FMJ has come up and I discussed the subject with the owner. When the rifle range opens it will be FMJ FRIENDLY. Common sense prevailed to sound thinkers. They will not allow any steel ammo of any kind. If a magnet stick to it you can't shoot it

Wonderful news - thanks, txinvestigator

http://www.elmfork.com/ websites says, "100 yard Rifle Range The range will be open August 9th"

Their website also says NO FMJ. I am going to call anyway to get the bad news and to also clarify if it is NO FMJ or NO MAGNETIC FMJ. Bullettrap and Targetmasters indoor ranges allow FMJ if it is not magnetic and they test the ammo. I bought my own magnet so I could test my ammo before I go. Most of the FMJ is magnetic for surplus and not allowed.

I would love to shoot 100yds w/ the non magnetic surplus ammo I have (8mm mauser yugo sniper stuff) and it would be a relief to not have to drive to Gibson's Outpost in Mesquite so this could be really great news!

See the website on link below for more FMJ shooting range info.

I hope this was a coherent post.. it is very late.
