Looking for place/range to test my reloads in DFW

[TheSinfulSaint]

I have been looking for places where I can test my reloads. Every range I call either does not allow home reloads or does not allow all lead ammo. Ranges that allow both have some crazy liabilities rules and waivers.

Members please suggest where do you test your reloads in or around DFW area?

I usually take a box or two of factory ammo and whatever reloads I am testing. I show the factory ammo to appease the powers that be.

I have been known to put my reloads into a factory ammo box as well as long as I have matching headstamps to the box.

Of course retaining my brass is a key factor. I don’t go to ranges that claim that once the brass hits the ground it is theirs.

This may be too far for you but check it out.

Garland Public Range allows reloads.

$25 to join, $25 per visit, short class to join. The $25 allows you to stay as long as you like, and shoot as many guns as you wish.

Outside range, and no FMJ rifle ammo allowed.

Damn! What's in the water up there? I've never heard of that before - which is probably a good thing because all I shoot are my reloads.

You might call Smart Shoot, they have several locations in the DFW area. They have what they call “private suits”, they cost more to rent, you are in a small private room. I’ve used them to shoot shotguns and rifles and when I take my grandkids shooting.

Shoot smart is pretty good but they don’t like FMJ rifle ammo.

Pretty much every public range doesn't allow FMJ rifle ammo. Those that do are very rare.

Arlington Sportsman Club allows you to do so, and even has a reloading room on-site with equipment, to allow you to tweak

Thanks everyone. I will try out the recommendations.

Need to buy some land for this.

I've been there and used FMJ .223 ammo.

I shoot reloads all the time. I go to the range in Allen, Texas Legends, and McKinney just opened a new indoor range. I haven't been there yet.
I shoot fmj's out of my AR's there.... I think they allow anything except .50 BMG. They will let you pattern your shotguns in there, as well.
From work, during lunch, I sometimes go to Rifle Gear over on 121.... in fact, I went there today. Shot a couple of .22 revolvers, and my .38 snub with cast, PC'd wadcutters.

I go to the outdoor range in Garland... they do not allow fmj's, but most everything else is ok. They will not let you shoot your shotgun at their wood framed target holders. They do have a clay pigeon range there, though.

Every range I call either does not allow home reloads or does not allow all lead ammo.

Perhaps the "don't ask, don't tell" method would be best. Just go shoot. Some ranges will check your ammo to make sure there are no steel jacket/cases.

I have never heard of a range not allowing reloads and especially not lead ones.

They don’t typically allow steel core or bi metal like some of the commie ammo is.

EXACTLY IF THEY DON'T ASK DON'T OFFER ANY INFORMATIO

This is where I'd recommend. And not sure if it is still open, but Magnum Sports Center in Sanger TX could not care less either.
