Can i shoot surplus russian 7.62x54r 147grn fmj at ar500 targets swing at 50,100,200 yards ?
Depends... Just FMJ would be fine (@100 plus preferably). Steel core punches holes.
Keep this in mind: You cannot shoot a 91/30 Mosin at a paper target less than 50 yards down range. The muzzle flash sets the target on fire.

I've shot this 3/8" AR500 with Russian surplus around 250 times from roughly 80 yards. It barely leaves a dimple. The big dimples you see are from 5.56.
Swiss cheese...
