That is actually a survival tip. You can start a fire with a muzzle blast but they recommend removing the bullet. |

A spark has very little mass, so normally little damage from them occur but they can be much hotter in terms of an ignition source than a flame. A muzzle blast is not just a normal flame. The fuel is a nitro glycerine/nitro cellulose mix that burns at 1600f or higher. I am not sure what they think is going to burn but that will light just about anything that is airborne. I think they are far more worried about damage to their backstop. I also agree, they will assign some value to the scrap brass and when it is contaminated with steel, it becomes less valuable to them. Most ranges say, if the brass hits the ground, it is theirs. Skeet places are the same way about shotgun hulls. They try to say it is "safety" but most people call bull****, particularly when the skeet places sell the fired hulls in bags at the register. |

The muzzle blast is may yards back. I can't imagine what would be flammable in the back stop. |

If I think about it I will hit it with a grinder and see what kind of sparks I can bring up. |
