If I see ammo for sale labeled "NATO .308" or basically anything containing NATO in the descripton, can I assume its lead core FMJ? (in other words indoor range safe)

Get a fridge magnet and see if the round sticks to it
Let me tell ya Gary, steel jacket prokectiles sparks the bejeezus out of the area if you shoot it against rocks.Remember, the steel-JACKETED ammo will still spark like the bejeezus if you shoot it against a steel backstop. Freaks-out the fudds. Might potentially cause a fire outdoors if sparks hit dry brush - but only then if you are shooting AT steel. It would be a real freak event for a steel-jacketed bullet to spark from impact on a rock, and ignite the bushes.
