Just wondered, seemed to be a number of different manufacturers a good number of years ago but cannot seem to find them now?

I've not seen any around for a long time......

Had some Eley ones...think they are still made...

I contacted Eley just a few months ago about .22 tracers - unfortunately that are no longer made and have no plans to re-introduce them.

Great fun but but need to be used when quite fresh, only seem to have a shelf life of a couple of years before they get unreliable.

That's a shame, I've had a few sitting in my safe for twenty years awaiting a special occasion. Sounds like I might as well fire them off...

I have a box or so of tracer for a 12 bore that must be 15+ years old that I have been saving for a rainy day...

I got a box given by a guy from a club i used to belong to and they looked at least 20 years old, i have to say i was surprised at how well they worked Problem is, finding a range that'll let you use them! (If you don't have any land permissions that is). I shot mine at the Otterburn field firing range

I wouldn't mind some more but i've only seen them for sale on US websites and the time, hassle and money it would take, if it could be done at all, wouldn't be worth it

Good old cabellas..

God what a link

They won't ship internationally? Nobody in the UK importing them then?... a hole in the market then, so to speak.

I would buy a bucket load.

Hmmm, could be useful to have a bucket of them in the Sett too...
