With the 7mm Mag, 300 Win Mag and .338 at 5 miles, the .50 BMG would be even more ...

Oh my. I shoot there quite often when the once a year shooters aren't preparing for deer season. Maybe someone let a round get high on them. I have watched some of those fellers shoot 20 rounds without hitting the target. I always wondered where in the heck the rounds were going. I even had a guy putting rounds in my target from two bays down. Now I stay away from that place during amateur months. Usually between the end of September through the opening weekend of deer season.

That is some real scary stuff. I think you should take the round to them and let them know it happened. I wouldn't act confrontational, but just tell them they might want to keep an eye on the shooters better. They are real cautious about stray rounds as that place is about a hair from the City shutting them down. There are allot of homes around them now that didn't exist 25 years ago.

Definitely alert the facility to your findings.
