tracer bullets in 223
I am looking for somewhere that sells tracer bullets in 223 as I fancy trying a few. The next question would Vit N140 powder burn warm enough to ignite the tracer?

Re: tracer bullets in 223
Do ranges permit such pretty things to be fired ? Might they be construed as a danger to Elves and therefore banned?

You won't be able to use on ranges due to the risk of fire. I definately wouldn't use on private land either.
Peter Lawman used to sell them.

You can use them on MOD field firing ranges
I've not seen anywhere that just sells bullets, but York Guns had plenty of complete rounds last time i was in there. Mind they were nearly twice the price of normal milsurp

Does using Tracer cartridges leave anything nasty in the barrel I wonder?

They are dirty but I've found normal cleaning to be fine , I wouldn't shoot tons of the stuff though , but having said that I have no real reason or evidence not to?edchef wrote:Does using Tracer cartridges leave anything nasty in the barrel I wonder?
