A new 25 yard indoor range recently opened near my hometown. I took my Glock 17 with RMR hardcore match plated perfectly crafted handloads to give it a try.
I approached the front desk and the owner asked to see my gun and ammo. Without hesitation, he says sorry no hand loads allowed. Hummm. He points to the shelf and says we have all the ammo you need right here for sale (at very high prices).
There was another shooter beside me at the counter asking if he could pickup his spent brass that landed behind the shooter box. Sorry, sir, that brass will belong to the range. Smart butt attitude as well.
So, aside from being a smarty butt, are these two points typical of indoor ranges? I did note his bullets for sale were not frangible or otherwise eco friendly, just regular old jacketed PD and jacketed ammo off the shelf.
Is this normal? I shoot at outdoor clubs anyway so I am not indoor trained.
