BTW not all ranges allow mono metallic bullets ,Bisley certainly has restrictions on their use but I知 not sure what other ranges do.

That's interesting, as a kid I used to search the rifle backstops at a local military range and found many .303 / 7.62 size heads almost undamaged. Many more were slightly flattened and bent like bananas. I wonder why a solid copper bullet would be worse.
The metal target frames were all clad in wood, to stop splash, perhaps copper would be more dangerous to the butt crew.
I just looked at the latest range regulations on the NRA site, re Bisley.
" Lead-free mono-metallic bullets may be used during specific events that are controlled and planned by the NSC. They are otherwise forbidden."
So, perhaps things are moving in the direction of allowing solid copper bullets in future ?

I do not understand why solid copper bullets would be more of a problem than fmj. What are the reasons for the restrictions? Copper in the soil would be less dangerous than lead...?
