shiloh range

[gladi8r]

How you doin Im wondering why you guys only allow brass ammo in your range I got a buttload of wolf and nowhere to shoot it. Thanks

You make less money on reloads and recycling if you have to pay someone to cull out the steel. IMHO
I don't really know just felt like making a smatt a$$ reply, forgive me.

Thanks for the reply and that could be the case I just hear they got a good range and want to shoot there.

We rely on our recycling of brass for upkeep and range maintenance. One single steel our aluminum casing per barrel is an automatic $300 off our price. Not to mention, indoors, with more than one person shooting that ammo at a time, you can really tell how dirty that stuff is. There are many people out there that say steel or aluminum is no worse than brass, but that is wrong. You are doing your gun a favor by not shooting steel or aluminum. This point is often argued, but that is my opinion as I have witnessed the evil of the non brass casings. And it is not greed for your brass that makes that rule. We have sent military personnel, staff, and customers to intensive pistol training with the recycling money. We used the last batch of brass to pay for the postage of almost 800 pounds of beef jerky to our friends at Camp Taji, Iraq. So your brass is greatly appreciated as it goes to a good cause.

You can't shoot rifles at Shiloh, it's a pistol range.

That simplifies things.

Careful there. You could find yourself on the recieving end of a slander suit.

Both ammunitions have had millions of rounds fired with no adverse effects on firearms without damage to the guns. If you feel that the powder mixture causes undue stench in the air of your range or for the reasons you stated about recycling, cool. The last statement could be libel. If an individual says something along those lines it is onething, but you are a firearms business, and it makes what you say carry more weight.


I am not a lawyer and am not qualified to give legal advice, but I am sure you have one and I would ask him{ and SC Texas is an attorney as well}

If they advise you to not make brand name statements please edit their names{ or my entire post altogether} from my post.
