Range prohibits CCI Blazer, all other aluminum cased, steel cased ammunition?

Bull pucky. I would at lest respect the range if they told the truth...they salvage the brass and don't want aluminum in it. Odd how people avoid the truth isn't it?

This is what I initially thought but I wanted to see if I was missing something. Thanks for all the responses, I always appreciate everybody's input here! I'll look for a new range.

The indoor range I go to has sign in each booth saying that aluminum or steel case ammo cannot be fired there.

That is the true reason

I believe I'd find myself another range.

Yeah, I don't shoot there, I belong to a much nicer range (Green Valley, home of the Bianchi Cup), but this indoor range has a decent selection of holsters, etc. I do respect most of the employees (most have some very interesting backgrounds), and didn't care to argue at the time.

I live in the area and hate Targetmaster. But French Creek Outfitters outside Phoenixville, PA also bans anything but brass.

I belong to a local private gun club with an indoor and 3 different distance outdoor ranges and trap house which allow you to shoot anything but 50bmg or full auto. Costs $60/year for the whole family.
