AMMUNITION REQUIREMENTS
Fortress recommends the use of American made factory ammunition only! Foreign ammunition is often times dirty, smokey and lacking in quality control. Use of it can not only lead to stoppages but it absorbs valuable training time trying to repair dirty, non-functioning guns. We also do not allow the use of reloaded ammunition during our courses.
