[QUOTE="mark223, post: 1764189, member: 16109"] Lake City military match 7.62 NATO, commonly called "white box", is 173 gr FMJBT ammo and used as issued is a good round for it's intended purpose, which is competition and combat. However it is not a good civilian type hunting round. If it hits a significant bone it "might" tumble and cause some extreme tissue damage but it will usually make the typical pencil type wound channel. It is common "knowledge" that if you are in need of a hunting type soft point bullet you can pull the bullet and put it back into the case backwards creating a soft point. I have never hunted with it reversed but I have tried it on paper targets at 50 and 100 yards. It looks as though it might work but the accuracy went from approx. 1 MOA in it's normal configuration to 5 to 8 MOA when the projo is reversed. However at this rather close range I did not see any signs of the bullet being unstable. [/QUOTE]
