Why .22 when there are other calibres of tracer available on the market?

Could you not just put the cartridge in a vice, drill through the bullet and fill the hole with ground match stick heads?*

I would think about 50,000 psi would push out the superglue or what ever you were hoping to seal them with. :)Egg on Leggs1 wrote:Could you not just put the cartridge in a vice, drill through the bullet and fill the hole with ground match stick heads?*

Gazza, if you get yourself A RFD licence and an import licence etc etc, you might be able to get some from here:-

Failing that, there's always the match head route.

I dont think I'll bother with the RFD route just to get hold of a few tracers
I'll try the match heads though, nice and cheap. Do you think any particular brand would be best?

It would definitely have to be Bengal matches. They're probably about as rare as 22lr tracers, though.Gazza wrote:

In Dromia speak, are tracers glow in the dark condoms?
