Can someone tell me if Heritage Guild in Easton PA allow you to shoot steel case ammo such as Wolf for your AR or AK?? I know RTSP does not allow it. Why I don't know other then they don't feel like separating the brass from the steel.

 

Thanks,

No armor piercing, no steel core.

Steel cased, yes

RTSP allows you to shoot steel cased ammo..I have done it numerous times.

@Carl...I had a customer go there yesterday with his Bushmaster rifle and they would not let him shoot the Wolf steel case ammo that he had  brought with him.

Really? They must have recently changed their policy. That's a bummer.

You must mean steel core ammo, which does not break up as easily on impact.

 

I can understand indoors but...The other day I was shooting steel at 100 yards with my SKS at Cherry Ridge. The RO came over and told me to stop because the steel core milsurp ammo "reduces the life of the plates." Well. 

No I mean steel case ammo..And my customer went up there again today and they wouldn't let him shoot it.

Like it was said earlier in the tread, the rules must have changed for I have shot steel case ammo there as well. Maybe Peter can chime in and clarify that.

FYI, your not supposed to be shooting steel core anything at C.R., and why are you shooting penetrating rounds at steel targets?

 

However, for the love of god what the hell does steel cased ammo have to do with anything.

1. The boss did not tell me to stop shooting it, only that I had to stop shooting at steel. He was right there for several minutes when I was shooting. He must have seen me load at least 3-4 times. He only approached me when he heard the gong go ping. We held a round up to the magnet and sure enough it stuck.

 

I will look into this issue. In the meantime, please provide a link to the CR rules where it says this ammo is verboten. I always strive to obey the rules there. 

 

(Someone in a previous post suggested that steel core ammo causes fires. How is that?)

 

2. We were responding to someone who we thought was confusing steel jacketed with steel core. Now I see that wasn't the case.

The steel case comment wasn't in response to you, just a general wtf statement about range rules about it...

 

Pertaining to CR, i recall specifically talking about steel core ammo during orientation and how it wasn't allowed.. I even asked about your typical military penetrator round(green tip), not AP and they still told me no. If i recall it's more of a fire hazard rule then anything else, it causes sparks when it hits rocks in the berms.. And it did in fact happen on the 300 line i believe.
