So thats why I asked if it was only tied to rifle, as most people would think.

Ask them to show you what ammo they sell to people to use when shooting for 9mm and .45. What they may be calling 'ball ammo' and not allowing is mil-surplus type ammo as in the steel cased eastern block Czech stuff (Wolf, Brown Bear, etc.) Some of that does not have a lead core, but is actually bi-metal. I will bet if you went in with a box of 9MM Winchester White Box ammo it would be allowed on the pistol range.

Eagle Peak adn Garland are same company.

Technically ball is FMJ. The proper thing to say here is the range will not allow FMJ rifle ammo, but ball (FMJ) pistol ammo is allowed. The main difference is they don't want armor piercing rounds or FMJ due to it tearing up the berm from the higher velocity of the rifle. Pistol rounds are much lower velocity and don't cause as much issue.

I beleive it has been settled. The only thing they show not allowing is any FMJ as well as no .50 Barrett or BMG semi-auto rifles. http://www.eaglepeakshootingrange.com/gpsr/rules.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
