I was reading the rules for range at AGC and saw that no ammo labeled magnum is allowed. Does this include 22WMR? I may be misreading something but does this apply to all ranges or specific ones?

I think this only applies to shooting steel targets.

Thanks!
OP, so long as your question does not relate to shooting steel targets, you can shoot 22 rimfire magnum, or 460 Weatherby Magnum, or any other magnum round you so choose.

Just in General at Paper. Thanks!
So no to a 22WMR, but you can shoot a 416 Rigby or 500 Nitro Express at steel? No “magnum” in the name/description, good to go? OK, so a little sarcastic......

3000fps is written into the steel target rules.

You’re actually not too far off. I could write a book about this, and without elaborating, will suffice it to say that I already pretty much have.
The present policy is sorely in need of review IMO. At present, the very best thing you can do is to run your thoughts on the matter through your member club. And if they are in agreement and will back your play, have them formally request a complete review by the AGC’s RSSOP.
Sorry, I was just being a sarcastic jerk. I don’t really care one way or the other.
It does sound like the rules could cause some confusion though.
No apology necessary sir.
And I can assure you that there does indeed exist significant confusion.
For others to whom this present policy with attending issues does indeed apply, my suggestion on how best to proceed stands. It’s the ONLY way the present policy can change.
One range I belong to changed the bylaws to state anything over xxxx ft/lbs was NOT allowed, period. Doing it this way alleviates any confusion as to caliber, gauge, magnum verbiage, etc.
The steel plate rule is easy, no AP or steel core. Not hard to understand.
The consequences are easy too, if you get caught, you are brought before the board and expelled. Again, not that difficult.
I will say that when any rules or bylaws are changed, the membership NEEDS to be notified.
