I know that Morton do now allow expanding ammo.
I've been using the pipe range at Braidwood (by St Boswells) a fair bit & I'd recommend it if you're heading down the A68 anytime soon. As there is only one range you will have it to yourself & it's £10 per 30 mins, although you'll probably want it for an hour once you start testing a few things. It's not terribly busy yet but I'd book.
Neither of them are open on Mondays

It costs £25 per hour and has six lanes. It is not heavily used so no need to book. Each lane has its own camera system and the targets can be set at 25, 50, 75 and 100 metres. It is on the right of the A71 about 1 mile from the Livingston turnoff if coming from Edinburgh. It is well signposted. Once you turnoff the A71 it is about 2 miles up a single track road. There is no dress code but my advice is to wear something warm. There appears to be no problem about using non target ammo.
Lastly I dont think it opens until 10am which may be why you are not getting an answer at the moment.

It's a good facility, underused.
Three of us were there yesterday and took a lane each for 1/2 hour then some clays.
The range cost is £25 /hour and £12.50 for the half. Not sure on clays.
You can have a comfortable seat by a fire, a hot drink and something to eat...as long as it's a burger or a fry-up
.
No dress code.
Expanding IS allowed for zeroing.
No second hand socks taken in part exchange
Head for junction 3 on the m8, the go straight down the dual carriageway alongside Livingston till you get to the roundabout at the bottom..Lizzy Bryce roundabout.
Take the a71 towards Edinburgh for about 1/4 mile and watch for the right turn signposted Morton.
Go under the wee railway bridge and keep on up the hill.
As per the above, wear warm togs, it's baltic in there. Best to take your own targets...plain white a4 with "Red Dot" works well
They have benchrest bean bags and ear defenders.
Wear ear defenders...the noise is Horrendous

Yes,still is. Not sure if it has any connection with the clays etc.
Nice fishery location but not cheap and found it to be a bit dour but i am a rubbish fisherman.
ps..the range and clay turning is about 100 yards past the fishery turning and on the left.

I think they are well fed before any rod arrives.
The fishery can be a touch bleak, but is generally well run and is one of the few put-and-take fisheries that are about bearable.
I go a couple times each winter when I can't go cold turkey any longer.
Size 14 tungsten bead green nymph, retrieved absolutely dead slow on a floatin line. Never fails, and it's great to see the utter confusion on the faces of all the budgie chuckers.

Well if anyone's interested, the equivalent for Syon Park is the fluffiest, pinkest fly you can find, relatively fast jerky retrieve. Very boring now that I know that. I mean I can make it hard for myself but it feels silly. It's not really proper fishing, but like Mungo, sometimes I need to go just so that I can use my rod licence...
permission to go by the name of 'Rod', usually relevant in Holland but apparently also needed in Englandshire nowadays.
only if you don't want the devolution powers taking a chunk of your fine arms revenues and you choose to head south of the border RD...ha ha ha
