I still can’t figure out that ruling.



I've read that steel ammo is banned because:

1. It penetrates backstops and does more damage to them.

2. It tends to ricochet more than brass ammo.

3. It sparks when it strikes objects and those sparks in an
gunpowder-laden atmosphere might cause a flash fire.

I don't know how true any of these reasons are...they're just the ones I
seen in web articles.

I don't like steel ammo or casings...they tend to be harder on firearm
actions and barrels than brass casings and lead ammo.

The only one that really makes sense is the damage to the backstop.
