It depends upon the type of backstop they use. My range used to be no jackets of any kind. I have been personally hit by this stuff. No serious damage but I bled and it hurt like hell. My range now employs a more modern backstop and fmj's are now allowed.
Backstop damage caused by the "harder" jacketed bullets. Most backstops are simply steel plates angeled to deflect the bullets into a sand trap. Unless the plates are hardened or made of hardened steel, they will develop grooves right behind the bullseye of the targets.
Another reason may be the range wants to sell the lead, they don't want mangled jacket material in the lead.
Next time you're at the range, look down at the floor and notice all the copper bullet fragments lying around. Guess where they came from? I assume from those shooters who used JHP's anyway.
