Hi Jeffrey and welcome. This is a Lead Core with mild Steel core bullet as pictured, so it is not usable at your range. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy! https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Schematic-and-photograph-of-556-mm-tungsten-nylon-projectile_fig1_235040251
This round has a semi steel core so it'd be a no go at your range.
Hi Jeffrey, green tip ammo has a semi-steel core, you wouldn't be able to use it at your range. Stay safe & have a great day!
