[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1787227, member: 59036"] Back in the early 80's, I bought thousands of .556 surplus 55gr FMJBT's for a very good price. Later on, I needed to eradicate prairie dogs, so I loaded them backwards and used them in my M700 Varmint Special. They weren't quite as accurate as when loaded correctly, but they worked. I shot many prairie dogs with them and had no issues. Although, I read an article in some magezine not recommending doing because the caused neck splits. I never had those issues. I have a good supply of bullets now so I don't have to do it any more, but I might do again just to experiment. I don't think I'd try try it in my AR. I'm afraid they would shove the bullet back into the case(if they even fed at all). I saw two ARs that blew up because the bullets were forced back into the case. [/QUOTE]
