Use it for what??
Target shooting fine, live quarry, needs to be expanding ammo, so you won't be able to use military spec ammo for that.... If it's just range work though shouldn't be a problem.
 
Yes I know they are fmj, so was going to practice with them on the range and reuse brass.just wasn't sure if they were compatible with civilian rifles

The primer pockets may be crimped so if you are going to reload you'll need a primer pocket reamer. If they are Berdan primed you will have difficulties decapping!
