The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - A silly question about ammunition and steel core rounds

Kimio · October 17, 2013, 10:21 AM

For the longest time, I was under the (Mistaken) impression that steel cased rounds all had a steel core penetrator of some such, thus making them unsuitable to shoot at indoor ranges.

My question is in regards to Wolf Performance ammunition, would this ammunition be prohibited? How can I tell if a round has said steel core penetrators in them that would make them prohibited at indoor ranges. I'd like to buy some more ammunition for my AR15, or at least shoot what I have on hand (That being wolf ammunition) at a nearby range without having to buy new ammo at this point.

Please forgive my ignorance here, and thanks for reading.
