TRRC, Tacoma Revolver and Rifle Club, is up near University Place and has 600 yds available but only when they host a specific match. 200 yds available any other day for members.

A friend and i shot his .358 Nuk at the 300m steels on range 15, resulting in some holes... Unintentional, i wonder if that contributed to the rule change.

Just be sure to clean up your mess if you go on FS land. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but.....

Will try to get specific details if I can, but this is confirmed. New policy from JBLM Range Control, NO magnum centerfire allowed. 50 Beowuld is allowed.

***UPDATED INFORMATION***
The information I got (direct from the source, JBLM Range Control) is that the berms are being raised for ALL the small arms ranges to comply with a new standard. Until they are done with the work on the ranges including Range 15, NO centerfire magnum rifles are allowed. No time frame was given but the POW = Personally Owned Weapons Range will be the last one to get done.
