Eagle Peak adn Garland are same company.

Technically ball is FMJ. The proper thing to say here is the range will not allow FMJ rifle ammo, but ball (FMJ) pistol ammo is allowed. The main difference is they don't want armor piercing rounds or FMJ due to it tearing up the berm from the higher velocity of the rifle. Pistol rounds are much lower velocity and don't cause as much issue.
One would think all of this is true. However, I spoke with someone http://www.topguntexas.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and they said no ball or FMJ even at their pistol range. I asked 3 times.

So thats why I asked if it was only tied to rifle, as most people would think.
So they expect you to practice with JHP? That's not really an economically viable option for me...
