Winchester White Box Prohibited at Range

[The_Antibubba]

While I agree that the rule is stupid and shortsighted, it is their range. You should find another place to shoot or fall in line. Shoot something less reliable. It'll allow you to practice your stoppage drills-FTF, FTE, stovepipes-or are you already utterly prepared for when your gun doesn't go "BANG!"?

use ziplock baggies and call it reloaded

My range will not allow ANY Wolf ammo. This CAN cause problems.

why is that? I have used thousands of rounds of wolff ammo and never had any problems with both 9mm and .223.

what problems should one expect with wolff?

Contact the range owner. tell them in no uncertain terms what you thiink of their policy, emphasizing their poor business choice of it, and tell them you won't be shooting there any more. Neither will anyone you know.

They can only pull this kind of nonsense when people don't call them on it.

The range closest to my house some years ago had a "store bought ammo only" rule. I went in found out about the rule and never went back. Some months later the range had a change of heart. Seems their range traffic went down a good bit. No matter...I will not go back. I have since moved closer to another range that I can deal with. Why spend money with people that have such poorly conceived policies. Makes me wonder about their business practices as a whole.

Sounds as if the range is trying to make a profit on their ammo. I guess if they rent you a gun, then they may want a certain type ammo ran through it.
I would never go there becouse Winchester white box is the main staple of our handgun ammo supply.Even buy it for the .22 rifles. Never had any big problems with it.

I can certainly understand it if you're renting their gun. One range I've been to states: Our range, our ammo. It is their gun so that is understandable. But if they were to not allow us to shoot outside ammo through our own guns, I would stop going there.

I probably wouldn't bring the issue up but I'd speak with my wallet. I'd also tell all my friends!

A WWB ban is also strange as Winchester offers a programs for ranges(not gun shops) to sell thier bulk ammo and get a discount doing so.

 

[KriegHund]

They just want an excuse to charge you more.

Saw WWB (Winchester White Box generic ammo) referred to
as "Winnie White Box" and had visions of the cartoon "Bother
said Pooh as he chambered another round" and blew cola out
my nose. Maybe that is reason to bar WWB.

"Bother said Pooh as he chambered another round"

That's hilarious. I can just picture him in my mind, dropping a cartridge into the open bolt of a rifle...
