    I don't own a Destructive Device, yet... If one were to get something like a Solothurn or Lahti where could you shoot it around here?
    I *think* ACG doesn't prohibit it but only 200yd and can't shoot steel or other fun stuff.
    Anything big is now banned at Delmarva.
    Peacemaker is no go AFAIK.
    Mifflin?
    Quantico?

    I was just at AGC with another member yesterday and I asked that exact question. The RSOs there said no problem to DDs such as larger caliber rifles, they would likely assign you to the end rows of the range to minimize disturbance to the other shooters.

    Steel at AGC has caliber and velocity limits in the rule book. 50BMG isn't allowed on steel for example. Don't worry, your little guns are fine;)

    Edit: (from AGC steel rules)
    4. Prohibited ammunition;

    Rifle rounds exceeding 3150 fps muzzle velocity. (C2)
    Pistol rounds exceeding 1500 fps muzzle velocity. (C2)
    Any round with a muzzle velocity less than 750 fps. (C2)
    Any round labeled “Magnum”. (C2)
    Armor piercing, steel core or ‘penetrator’. (C2)
    50 BMG and all long-range tactical rounds. (C2)
    Shotgun slugs. (C2)
    5.7 X 28 ammunition (C2)

    True that. Is there steel rated for 20mm rounds at 200yds? ;)

    Edit: I guess I'll go buy a 5/8" gong rated for bmg though.

    I'm still curious where else one could shoot those things. Will try to remember to call Mifflin this week. There is a long range in OH too - can't remember the name of the top of my head.
