Are soft points allowed at burro canyon?

[MatthewShelby]

Hello,
Bought a lever action and i have a few boxes of 357 soft points by PMC. Is this type of ammo allowed at burro canyon?

I called the range and the guy on the phone couldn?t answer this question for me. He had no idea what a soft point was

He had no idea what a soft point bullet is. It'll be interesting if you go to a car dealer and the front desk guy/girl doesn't know what an ABS is. The janitor at the range would know more than that guy.

I wouldn't even question it. Just take your ammo and shoot.

Usually the reason that ranges have restrictions on ammo type is for fire safety, ricochet issues, overpenetration issues, etc.

Soft-point ammo is not prone to ricochet or overpenetrate, and I've never even heard of a soft-point load with a sparking jacket.

Outdoor range like Burro Canyon, I don't see any reason at all to prohibit soft point.

As long as bullet passes the magnet test u are fine. They are concerned about steel sparking and causing a fire.

Went to my new LGS and asked for a bird cage. They had no clue what that was. Sort of a millennial gun store, just striker fired pistols and AR15s.

They say there are no stupid questions.

Unfortunately they are stupid.

don't ask, don't tell and never beg for permission. i've been shooting steel core at burro and other places until they come and magnet test me then kick me out. no biggie. fire hazard? don't build houses in stupid places out of stupid materials won't get a stupid tax from mother nature.

I used to keep a box or two of non magnetic ammo on my bench and shoot the steel jacket stuff from my range bag all day long.

So you're one of the idiots that make it so burro canyon has been lit on fire so many times in the last 10 years.

you're

corrected.

but my point still stands, you are one of the idiots that contribute to the range being lit on fire which then shuts it down for weeks because you "don't follow rules" thus ruining one of the few outdoor ranges we have in SoCal region.

The land is owned by the government, and if they feel like the range being there is more hassle than the money they gain they will shut it down.

are you going to open your house to shooters to shoot at?

this is why i gladly will report any shooters on the line that i see is using ammo that i know has steel core, or bi-metal jacket.

Years ago shooting on private range at burro one of the hothead range officers drove up stopped our shooting and checked all ammo again.

Total prick attitude as well went into bed of truck looked through bags etc. was going to look into my truck and I said he wasn?t going in and better not open my door. He didn?t find any steel core as we had none.

Was last time I ever went there.

All Commie AK and AR ammo is banned at Burro?

makes shooting a lot costlier.
