Any ammo that the range allows. Heavier bullets make louder sound when u hit steel.NRA Lifer

What range?
Lots of Socal ranges do not allow steel targets...
So the first question should be do they even allow steel targetsComment

AR500 will handle just about any round. But most ranges hang mild or plate steel. Generally, steel targets will handle a steady diet of any pistol round other than magnums.
Rifle targets are usually heavy sheet plate, and ranges don't care what you shoot at it, other than AP or trace."A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."......CiceroComment

It's a safe bet that you wont be able to shoot any steel ammo.Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.Comment

Just the regular ball ammo from Wally World will do. Some outdoor ranges do not allow JHP to be shot at them. None of the steel core junk either.Comment

@chaos47 Piru rifle club and they have them set up at every 100yds starting 100 yds all the way to 700yds and then a few at 1000yds.
Any one ever been to this range before? It's about 1.5 hrs from home so want to make sure it's a cool place before I make the trip.Comment
