Thanks for all of the comments and detailed info so far.

The indoor range at my club doesn't rent guns or sell ammo, so you're expected to bring your own. Sounds like the surcharge for its use is a bargain compared to the public ranges . . . $50/yr (plus the club membership which is another $50/yr, but that gets you access to outdoor skeet, pistol and rifle ranges as well).

You're asked not to shoot HP or the more powerful versions of larger calibers (.357/.44 Magnum for example). Cast Lead is fine.

The downside, of course, is that there's no RSO present, that you can find the shooting stalls in varying levels of neatness, and that maintenance is not as regular as it might be in a commercial establishment. The health/safety stuff is handled immediately, though.
