Thread: Military Surplus

It's probably lead core with a soft steel guilding jacket. I'd imagine it would work, but you can get Barnaul soft points pretty cheap. Be careful not to cut the jacket back to far. FMJ pills have no base IE: the lead is exposed. It's possible to have the lead core shot out through the jacket and have the jacket left lodged in the barrel. Not ideal when you fire the next shot. There is probably a tiny chance of this happening but it only needs to happen once. A meplat trimmer might be the go if you are intent on modding them.
