South Carolina indoor range only allows Flite Control buckshot.     

"Shotgun shooters are required to shoot slug or waded buck shot. Bird shot is strictly prohibited from being shot in The Range. Shotgun shooters are allowed to shoot Federal Flite Control waded buck shot.  Only Flite control waded buckshot or comparable waded buckshot will be allowed."

That range is just minutes away from me. 
They don't like messes.  Also, the little tiny birdshot pellets bounce off the rubber backstop.  But it's nice that they allow some Buckshot.  Most ranges in the Greater Charlotte Area are SLUG ONLY.

Interesting. The range management must contend that non- Flite Control buckshot rounds would likely have such a rapid pattern spread that adjacent customer targets and range fixtures might be adversely affected.

The range I used to frequent back in the Philly area limited you to buck or slugs for the same reason: lightweight birdshot pellets bouncing off the backstop and walls, and because of dumb@$$es being dumb@$$es and doing dumb@$$ things.

....and because of dumb@$$es being dumb@$$es and doing dumb@$$ things.

I can honestly say I’ve never shot the ceiling or seen anyone shoot the ceiling...but there’s a lot of holes in the ceiling at the indoor range I go to.
