This is what I figured, however, this particular range has no problem with aluminum rounds... I could understand their frustration with aluminum. I figure steel would be the easiest to separate from the mix, just use a magnet.

Edit: and this is a pistol range I believe, so no rifle ammo with steel cores.

I went to an outdoor range, asked them if they allowed steel cased ammo there. The guy laughed and said it didn't matter what they're policy was that my gun wouldn't feed it anyway. I told him I had a CZ that would eat anything. The guy looked at me like I was a moron and said ok then have fun with it.

I proceded to dump 100 rounds of it as smooth as the other brass cased I brought.

I had a similar scenario when I was buying the stuff at academy.

At an indoor range I frequent they swipe all your ammo with a magnet and have signs posted everywhere that there's a $25 fine if your caught smuggling in steel cased ammo. I asked why the policy the guy told me 'it damages our machines' with an angry twitch in his eye...whatever that meant.

I don't know why there's such an adversion towards steel cased 'commie ammo,' seems to work fine for me, just smells bad when you shoot it.
