Morning,
Does anyone know of a source of 7.92mm tracer bullets as I fancy loading a few up and trying them on Stanta battle area. Never loaded them before so are there any nuances that need considering when reloading?
Thanks.

good luck with that , i've never seen it
I do load 308 tracer heads sometimes and just weigh the bullets then use data for that weight but work up slowly as i've noticed that some tracer has a longer bearing surface than it's equivalent ball round?

Beware because on Altcar the firing of tracer by civilians is a big no no.

With us its always stated yay or nay before the shoot starts. I think it depends on the perceived fire risk on the morning-not much risk of setting fire to the battle area atm although trench foot is a possibility!

If our paths cross I'd swap you some 1969 military tracer for ball ammo I have quite a few and would swap you 100 or so. Based in the midlands and shoot with the clubs in my signature if thats any use ?
