My range has a pistol pit area where steel knockdown targets are kept year round. They recently did work in that area to make the pits deeper and sent an email saying that rimfire shooting in the pits is not allowed, then recently I heard another member say that nothing under .38 is allowed to be shot in the pits.
I know their reasons are "safety" but this doesn't make sense to me. I've shot .22 Short, LR's, and Mags in the pits not two months ago with no problems as well as .25 and .32 ACP and again, no problems.
So is it safe to shoot steel with low power/low velocity rounds like rimfire and .25 ACP and the .32 ACP/S&W Long? If yes, what's the distances recommended?
