Am I missing something here? When did .308 become not .30 caliber? .30 caliber or smaller sounds like .30-06,.308 or 300 Win mag should me fine. Just tell them its a 7.62 super.
Its better to be dead & cool.Than alive & uncool. Guns don't kill people. Men with mustaches do.

I think the restriction is less than .30 caliber, not .30 caliber or smaller.

Just talked to them and the restriction is 30cal and larger not allowed. The bullet that was in a house in Rowlett was a 30 cal fmj bullet. the only rifles on the range at the time the bullet hit the house was 223s. But the judge put the restriction of no 30 cal or larger on the range until the berm is raised. Still trying to get the permits for that.

That's funny that a .270 shoots flatter than a .30 cal .308 and you can shoot those? And a .25-06?
.257 weatherby mag?
Funny.

Yeh you can. There was a guy shooting a 7rm and I told the range officer that it's absurd that he can shoot his 7rm and I can't shoot my 308. He said that I'm right but those judges and lawyers don't have a clue about guns but unfortunately that’s how it is .

I was unaware of the .30 cal restriction, and went out there Friday to see how effective the new reciol pad is on my 1895G. Looks like the restrictions are still in place, and they do not have a timeline on when they may be lifted. Seems rediculous to me that I can shoot my flat shooting .270 and .243, but can't shoot my rainbow trajectory 45-70. Just another instance of government intrusion wrecking havoc on an otherwise perfectly good business.

You guys know that the NRA has offered very reasonable ins for ranges for many yrs., providing they have 200 or more acres..JM at our club in Bandera just went thru all of this a yr. ago..and it costs him way over $20K to raise the berms, and build covers over the pistol range, and use RR ties in front of the benches and on top at the rifle range so theoretically one cannot shoot over the berms..I am sure JM also had more than that in Atty fees when this was over..and you guys would be astounded at what comes out of the woodwork when some neighbor wants their way and has an atty..DD

Called them today and the restriction is still in effect. He was pretty vocal about it too...He told me I cannot bring my 300RUM but I can shoot my 7mm STW all day long. No 30 carbine but please bring my 7mm Weatherby lol.
Question, does that affect pistol cartridges as well? I didn't ask him.

You can still shoot any pistol cartridges on the pistol range. But not on the rifle range. Yes I know it makes no sense. But kinda like congress when lawyers make the rules they do not have to make sense I guess

I called yesterday, and they said they are hoping to hear something this week. They claim they sent some sort of paper off last week and were waiting to here back this week.
I have a feeling when they finally allow .30 and up again, they will be swamped.
It's okay...I'm a Zamboni driver!

I was there yesterday. Over .30 ban is still in place. I had my .35 Remington with me and could not fire it. I could have told them it was a .30-30 because you can't tell the difference unless you are paying very close attention. But, it wasn't worth getting banned from the range if caught. As a side note, the screens between the shooting stations are nice for stopping ejected brass from the AR crowd. But, the screens do NOT stop the gas blast. Do not shoot directly next to the right of anyone shooting with an AR.

I went there the other day to shoot my 22lr and discussed with a range officer:
-The restriction is still in place.
-A guy from the city is supposed to come in December to validate the new installation (but with the holidays, they’re not very confident that they’ll be able to have quick turn around on this).
-They have noticed an important decrease in attendance, especially in this time of the year, as many hunters go to someplace else to sight their rifles.
