I just do not see how the fmj can cause that much more damage to a range?

Neither do I, as long as it is not steel jacketed. Probably an insurance liability thing. Frustrating isn't it? |

Some ranges to a magnet test, separates out the steel core stuff that can damage their backstop.

Here ya go:
Geogria Arms Try the ballistic tip ammo. It should feed well, and the tip will hold its' shape like FMJ ammo does. The soft point stuff is probably OK too, but you might notice a little lead being shaved off of the tip of the bullets as they are fed into the chamber. It's reloaded ammo (I've never tried it), but they have a good reputation. Good luck. |

Or hell, use the Wolf HP if it will function for blasting.. No, it's not really any better than the FMJ, but the rules is the rules

FMJ (full Metal Jacket) are copper (metal) jacketed bullets that completely encase a led core minus the base.
TMJ (total Metal Jacket) eompletely encases the lead in copper. The best way to tell a FMJ bullet from a non FMJ bullet is to look at it. If the proectile is visibally all copper and no other materials (IE hollowpoints or polimer tips) than it's a FMJ. Or you can look at the name, BT (balistic Tip) HP (hollowpoint) SP (spire point or Soft point) Hope this helps. Note : I have yet to start reloading. |

Our range's backstop is a forested hill. Works pretty good.
