I have not been to that range, but in many ranges they use steel to hold everything together at the backstop, and it's welded causing edges. It could have hit an edge as evidenced by that grove in the bullet and caused a spin evidenced by the groove cutting down the side of the bullet and causing it to come back at you. The good thing is of the literal thousands of range days I have had, I have seen more than my fair share of "returned rounds" and was hit by a couple, but the velocity is nothing more than someone throwing it at you, so even the worst case scenario may result in a tiny bruise on ones cheek, I doubt that anything significant will happen. yes it can be unnerving but it is a lesson in the wearing of safety glasses.
Good thing is that since I started shooting in National Match Competition at age 13 I have never heard of anyone getting injured to any significance or anything other than a slight make or bruise, and even that is very rare. Frankly walking into the building from your car poses more danger.

NO I DIDN'T MISS! Please pay attention to detail. As I said. We counted the holes in the paper. 8 rounds fired from mag and 8 holes in the paper. Why do you automatically state things to try and stir up stuff when you don't even know or read all that was posted?
And when it comes to shooting accurately. just ask Tygereye. She was the one hit by the returning round. Ask her if I miss....I am not blowing my own horn but I DO NOT SHOOT OFF TARGET! I am insulted that you say this about me never seeing me on a range shooting.
