5 - 200 yard rifle ranges! (Closest 200 yard ranges to Dallas Fort Worth)
20 - 100 yard rifle ranges
8 - 50 yard rifle ranges
Many 7 yard pistol ranges
Many 15 or 25 (not sure) yard pistol ranges
No Shotguns (go to Garland Gun Range below - open 365 days a year 10am to 8pm)
Most ranges do not allow Full Metal Jacket rifle ammo.
Indoor rifle ranges (like Targetmaster and BulletTrap) allow FMJ but NOT if it is magnetic (like most military surplus ammo). They will test your ammo with a magnet before you shoot. Targetmaster is 50 yds and Bullettrap is 25 yds with two lanes.
Outdoor rifle ranges (like Garland Gun Range) only allow soft tip or hollow point. Elm Fork only allows soft tip.
Gibson's Outpost allows Full Metal Jacket rifle ammo so I can shoot my military surplus rifles long range without paying $20 for 20 rounds.

ComBloc Ammo FAQ (Wolf, Bernaul, Monarch, Silver Bear, Brown Bear)
http://www.ar15.com/content/page.html?id=268
Magnetic ammo or Non Magnetic ammo questions answered
Copper or Steel casing questions answered
Surplus military steel core questions answered
The primers itself has a cup and "anvil" and the primer
pocket in the case has one flash hole in the center of the pocket.
This
makes it easy to punch out the old primer with a simple pin
punch.
"Berdan" primers do not use the "anvil", it is formed into the
case head and thus there are two flash holes on either side of the anvil.
This makes the Berdan much harder to reload.Generally, Berdan ammo is regarded as unreloadable by most U.S. shooters.
American commercial ammo (Remington, Winchester, Federal) is boxer primed and reloadable (in most cases).
Military surplus ammo is almost always Berdan primed and not reloadable.
Many overseas ammo manufacturers (Wolf, Prvi) are starting to produce new boxer primed ammo (brass and steel cased)
for the American commercial market. If steel cased, is usually not reloadable.
Loctite (Green, Blue and Red) Differences
I am not an expert on this but from what I can figure out:
Green Uncle Mike's Gun Loctite - what I use on my Mosin Nagant screws to keep them from rattling out while shooting.
Is called 'green' loctite but when you squirt out is colored blue. Green loctite will let you remove the screw or bolt.
Use on your scope rings and scope mounts, too.
Blue Loctite - is removable. Not sure what the difference is between Uncle Mike's green gun loctite.
Red Loctite - do not use on firearms unless you want to take a torch to remove (according to one website I read).
Not removable.
