Elm Fork Range

Post by 7075-T7 »

I have searched to no avail, and I figured someone here would know.

Does anybody have problems with shooting handloaded ammunition at the Elm Fork shooting range in Irving, specifically on the pistol range?

I've been reading up on reloading for a month or two, and just want to make sure I have somewhere to shoot it before I dive in and purchase a press. Thanks!

I've shot reloaded .38 out there with no problems. I didn't do the reloading, but they were still reloads. Garland Public Shooting Range and Bullet Trap in Plano have no problems with it either. Or at least they've never given me any grief over it.

I pretty much only shoot reloads in my rifles and they haven't said boo about it.

I have personally seen one of Elm Fork's range officers shoot his own hand-loaded ammo there. In fact, his reloads were using his own hand-cast boolits!

Well, I heard back from Elm fork and they said they had no problems with it. I figured as much but always nice to hear it from the "man". :thumbs2:
