is this bad to do the reason i was wondering is i may pick up a CZ527 in 7.62-39 russian for my wife as a light bush deer rifle but i also thought maybe picking up cheep milsurp ammo would allow for lots of cheap target shooting for the wife and I but if FMJ will damage the boar than i wont i know many millitary weapons have the chrome lined barrels?
 
No reason not to. Just clean if using corrosive ammo. The copper on a FMJ is no different than the copper on a SP.

Some military ammo uses copper covered steel cases but the copper is still what touches the bore.
 
It'll damage a boar, but won't bother your bore. Don't expect to be ready to go hunting if you only practice with milsurp. You'll have to shoot and sight in with hunting ammo first.
