The range I normally shoot at has a pistol range and a rifle range. The rule since I have been shooting there is no FMJ on the rifle range, the logic being there are houses behind the berm and FMJ might tend to riccochet more.
Ok, I get it. But I have been allowed to shot my UZIs (9mm/.45) on the rifle range with FMJ. This last visit a range monitor comes up to me as I am shooting my UZI and asks to see my ammo, and then tells me my FMJ is a no-no on the rifle range, but ok on the pistol side.
I later asked the guy seemingly in charge about it, since when I asked years ago pistol FMJ was good on the rifle side, and he said Texas passed a law that no FMJ could be shot on a rifle range, unless the range was 1000 yards long.
It smells like BS to me. A google search did not turn up any such law. If you don't want me to shoot FMJ, I won't. But please don't blow smoke up my skirt because you want to make the state the bad guy.
