Hornady 223 training rounds

I did some digging and if I am correct you are thinking of dummy rounds. They have no live primer and have no powder. they come with plastic bullets and you can get them in different colors .. like bright orange or yellow (so they are easy to find). They are strickly used for training so can ensure proper handling and function of a firearm. With no round in firearm the firing pin can become damaged if fired (trigger is pulled when coked).
Tracers are illegal for civilian use. Dummy rounds are not intended to be reloaded ..for the bullet never leaves the case (for the are not live shells).
Cabelas, wholesale sports, etc carry them

That is not correct.
While some ranges may prohibit the use of them, they are in fact not illegal to own or shoot.
As for the dummy rnds, don't bother to try to take them apart to use as reloading components. It is much cheaper to buy factory brass for that purpose. It is also much cheaper to make your own dummy rounds for 'practice'.

Ugh... You all wrong.
Hornady training ammo is there 50rnd bulk packs of varmint and FMJ.
Some is steel case some is brass, the SP 55gr I have here is all reloadable brass.

in responce to my original quote ... by training round you are meaning tracer bullets and NOT dummy rounds (which are also referred to as training rounds).
It is possible i was incorrect in stating that tracer bullets are illegal for civilian use but would need to some digging on that ... but I am pretty sure you can not hunt with them .. but would have to verify through the CCC or Firearms Acts & reg's.

Hey quit video games for a sec here...
Tracers and not training rounds. They let you adjust your fire direction day/night on sustained or rapid fire. They are also use sometimes as the 3-4 last rounds in a mag to let you know that you are going empty.
Dry firing will not damage the firing pin. Perhaps a .22 will be damage. How is that all the people doing dry firing practices have perfectly functioning firearms?
Training rounds are either cheap 55 fmj's or dummy ( snap caps ).
I know Hornady is introducing a new line of training rounds. Bulk 55 grainers with a steel case ( laquered ). Non reloadable. Cheap Russian style cases/primers and cheap USA made bullets and powders.

And yes tracers are OBVIOUSLY illegal for hunting. As it could set the woods on fire...
I don't play video games and don't have any my house, and personally feel there are better ways to spend ones time.
On dry firing, our statements are opinions! Google dry firing ... and you see some people say you can and others say you shouldn't. All guns are different and the only one who can correctly answer it is the gun manufacturer, in my opinion
You seem to know alot about "tracers", "training rounds" as Hornaby calls them. Do they create more fouling of the barrel or create any other harmfull effects to a barrel.
One other question if you have the time to respond. Are you saying that the potential for a fire exists only when hunting? If starting a fire is the main concern where does one shoot them then? Probably a good idea to bring along a fire extinguisher along (strapped to ones back) just in case.
dry firing - manufacturer stated
On dry firing a firearm. I spoke with Browning in the US (technical) and asked their opinion on dry firing my Brownings. He stated it is not recommended, but once in a while probably wont cause much/any damage.
Reason being, in layman terms ... quick and dirty, is that the firing pin has nothing soft to impact/stop it. I am assuming they are designed such.
Curious to know what other manufacturers have to say!
