But he’s talking about an outdoor range. They all have a giant wall of dirt as the backboard. I wonder if it’s some tree hugging bs that’s been imported from California now that Austin is an auxiliary bedroom community of San Francisco.
Strange rule. I’d find another range. Drive down south to San Marcos or Wimberly.

There was a fire in Colorado a while back called the gun range fire ( or something close to that. Determined fire was started from an FMJ bullet making sparks
I did see a video a month or so ago with a range master talking about fmj’s starting a fire in the rubber pellet backstop some ranges use.
Probably very rare, but I’m sure it’s possible. Maybe an insurance requirement
Sure. There is 0% chance there is 0% risk of a fire using non FMJ also. Secondly, where the hell are the range control guys? Are they not paying attention to their range? How hard is it to have someone on hand with a fire extinguisher or water hose or whatever? If its a rifle range, have them with a golf cart ready to go.
How about we use some common sense and not have flammable weeds and material around steel? Or around the backdrop? Maybe do a minor control burn on the range a couple times?
There's 100s of ways to prevent a range fire that take very very little time, effort, or money.

and one of those ways is to ban FMJ ammo apparently LOL. You and the other dude keep saying “zero reason” yet we have in this thread multiple examples of ranges that evidently have reason enough. I have no way of knowing whether those “reasons” are effective but I do know that businesses are not generally in the practice of aggravating their customers for “zero reason”

Making money is a reason, but it isn't a good reason, not for the consumer.

What range? I live here so I'm curious.
