LGR policy change due to ammo shortage

Interesting: Because of the ammo shortage, my LGR posted a policy change and now allows the previously prohibited steel case ammo for use on the range in wheel guns ONLY. They are also buying back bulk ammo (brass case only),

I'm going to take a shot in the dark that this is OpenRange. They have always allowed steel in wheel guns but just didn't actively announce it. They wont allow steel in guns that eject the casing because they sell all your brass for a profit and don't want to pay someone to separate it out with a magnet. Gave me the excuse that they would have to pay huge amounts of money for hazmat suits and training. That is the reason they no longer get my money. Too bad, it's a beautiful range with really great employees.

You would figure the money they would gain by letting people shoot steel cased ammo would be more than the money they get from brass cases. The steel case shooter would in general buy ear pro, eye pro, targets, and that is more bodies in the shop which buy other gear also.

Like steel is so hard to separate from brass, just run a magnet over it.

Or the time I had to argue with them about picking up my own brass. They tried to claim that it was against their policy and that what hits the floor is theirs. I asked them if it was their policy to steal from all of their customers or just the ones that let them get away with it. I walked out with my brass and haven't been back since.
