Indoor ranges are funny animals that I try to avoid. I did shoot regularly at one a several years ago. Only reason I went, was because a couple of friends relatively new to shooting talked me into their "pistol league." This was during the last stupid, and ammo was rather difficult. The range had some for sale at vastly inflated prices, and any flavor you wanted so long as it was 9mm/115gr loaded by some remanufacturer that loaded it so light it wouldn't cycle a well worn Sig P226 police trade in. For the first week, they stuck to their "no outside ammo" policy. They literally required you purchase any ammo used at the range. After being informed that their primary business of renting shooting lanes would do zero revenue going forward, they relaxed this policy slightly, allowing outside ammo but factory only. I just packed all my handloads in newish factory boxes, sacrificing my brass, and they never knew the difference. Picking up range brass, even your own, was absolutely forbidden, but you could buy brass for a very cheap $10 per 100 for 9mm
. Aluminum, steel case was also forbidden unless they sold it to you, and the owner was generally a pain in the butt with arbitrary, arcane, and changing rules popping up all the time. The last night of league, I left them the 2 boxes of S&B brass plated steel cased ammo I had been saving for a special occasion.
A few weeks later, the shop went out of business. The silent partner ended up buying the facility at auction with a new partner, and turning it into a first rate facility. I still pop in once in awhile and we have a good laugh about the guy who stepped over a dollar to make a dime and ran the old business into the ground by being a control freak in a business patronized by people who aren't big on petty tyrants.
