Oaktree Rifle Range brass only (no steel/aluminum)

[Regular guy]

Iron sights in Oceanside has the same rule. Luckilyh I bought a crap ton of federal brass ammo at walmart for 16 cpr before they stopped selling.

You shouldn't shoot steel cases there.

But you should dispose of steel cases there. SPP brass as well.

When components were short, they were selling the brass to a recycling plant that came and picked it up. Opposed to storing up some brass so they had stuff to reload when primers, powder, their "burned down" reloading store came back, they wanted to keep making money.

They changed the range charges to hourly, I was there yesterday and I was the only person from 8 am to 10 am. I buy the yearly membership during black Friday.

I know the RSOs well. Management is super hard on this new no steel or aluminum cases rule that upper female Management passed (if you know oaktree, you know why I said female).

They were OK with me still grabbing my brass which was nice.

Oaktree used to be an awesome place. The problem I have with it now is, it's trying to be run like a business that doesn't care about the customers experience. Steel targets with holes in them, target bases that are broken, cease fires that last 20 to 30 mind when your charging by the hour, and now no more shooting AK/ steel cases regardless of you pick up with a magnet.

Again, rirfle staff especially are cool dudes, it's the leadership that has been making dumb choices.

She ruined the fun shoots as well...

It’s just a money issue. They have this rule at our local LE range and we’re at least super honest about it. All the brass gets saved and put into 55 gallon drums then goes to a purchaser. The price paid for brass only is insanely higher than the price paid for mixed.

This could be necessary for the business to survive, or it could be seeking extra profit to fund lavish coke and stripper parties. Either way it?s their house, so their rules. I doubt a promise to pick it up would be sufficient, having worked with the general public I know what allowing people to break rules because they promised to do things results in over time.

It?s why I go to the free range called the Mojave. Where anything goes and there are no rules.

If they are not sorting and inspecting the cases they are using for their reloads where they could toss the non-brass stuff in the process, I would not want to buy their product anyway.
