So what's the deal with Sennybridge hard targets why tracer. What's wrong with standard ammunition. I don't understand.

Because when shooting the Dragunov at Sennybridge I can't see my fall of shot on the 1000m fig11 target, tracer will allow me to see and correct my shots.


Mike.....

Standard bullet length= 1.268" weight= 148.2gr powder weight=49.1gr
Tracer bullet length= 1.490" weight= 148.15gr powder weight=48gr

Both use the same cases, also found out they use the same powder.
