5.56, 223 range ammo

Both of those ranges have those up high backstop barriers to prevent high misses from leaving the range. I wonder if that is why they don't like fmj and heavier rounds? Maybe they are constructed too weakly to catch bigger rounds reliably over time. You should call the ranges and politely ask why they have this rule.

Interesting insight. I have called and talked to them and they are pretty firm on their policies.

No doubt. Xm193 is rough on steal inside of 100.

I've seen it shoot through the steel supports (legs) of a plate rack at 100. And I mean clean through with a hole like on a paper target. I guess I expected it to mushroom or something but it didn't.

Curious...No range I've ever frequented banned FMJ ammo in any way.

I haven't yet, but I have belonged to one range that believed the .40 and .45 projectiles recovered from adjoining property were ricochets from illegal machine guns totally ignoring the fact that both calibers were issued by 2 different LE agencies that were using the range on the days before the complaint came in.

Been to a USFS range while one of the rangers was there and pointing out how people with machine guns were destroying the 4x4 treated lumber target stands. He didn't seem impressed when I pointed out the stubs of 4x4 were packed with #8 shot or the pile of 12 gauge empties 10 feet away the shot had come from.

People get all kinds of strange notions in their heads.
