got a couple questions for anyone that might know.
The short version is our indoor range backstops are simple 1/2" thick angled steel plates, not AR500 or any ballistic rated stuff. We explicitly state no magnum cartridges at the range. and checking for them is part of the routine. Our range was built back when Bullseye competitions were the norm and it was pretty much constructed around the idea of lower speed rounds.
One of the other RSO's noted seeing a few 7.62x25 casings - most likely from the weekend shooters. As one of the people responsible for range maintenance, it's fallen on me to assess whether or not we should allow them. Looking at the paper specs for the cartridge it looks like a hard no.
But having zero experience with the round at all, I would like input from others who may know something about it before I make a decision.
