pskys2 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 A local Commercial Indoor Range has banned the use of JHP's. Yet they have a separate 50 yard Rifle Range. They claim the rubber backstop they use will fail with JHP's. Anyone here have info on this issue? I find it curious that they allow rifles on one range and pistols on another but won't allow any JHP's? What use is a range where you can't sight in and function test self defense ammo?

HoMiE Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Maybe it has to do with JHPs fragmenting more. Never been to indoor range where I couldn’t t shoot a particular ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the BS they gave me at the GSSF match Saturday it was a newly posted ban, it's NOT listed on their website. So my guess is after 3 or so years the rubber backstop was deteriorating and the owner is too cheap, or broke, to do so. By limiting JHP's he probably hopes to stall replacement. Not a good sign.

Dutchman195 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Every range I have worked at didn't care. Granular Rubber or Steel Trap Just no steel core or bi-metal jackets on the cheap-wolf stuff. Sounds pretty Fudd to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Watson Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Is this the usual bin of rubber mulch? Can't see how bullet type matters. Or is it a bank of sheet rubber? Hollowpoints will "core drill" plugs out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurryvisions Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 the indoor range I shoot at doesn't allow anything that has a steel core or attracts a magnet...based on the ricochet factor or so they say.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
