...Tracer rounds really scare me and should only be used by highly trained military and police forces. Tracer rounds also contribute to Global warming and my "Uncle Fudd" assured me that they are indeed illegal in Canada!!! :eek: :rolleyes:.

...for the gun owner who would say that other gun owners firing tracer rounds is a "bad idea" or "there's really no use for them"...give your head a shake man!...those are the same lines the antis use against you and your military looking "machine gun" with "super sniper scope", firing boring "conventional" ammo. :jerkit:

:p Mad Mikey.

I have a bunch of 30-06 tracer that I use in my Garands. Went shooting gophers in Lloydminster 2 years ago and we had 16,000 acres to shoot on with ranges of up to 4000 yards with nice big hills as back stops. You could watch the tracers go sometimes for about 4-5 seconds before they hit a rock and went flying straight into the air! It was truly a sight to behold and the gophers did not like us much over there ;) But I would say that only about 60% of the tracers actually lit up, but for the price of the stuff it was worth it! Cheers ya'll, have fun shooting and remember "Only YOU can light forest fires!" with your fun tracer ammo!
 
I hunt with various 30 cal rifles. I have loaded some tracer in each caliber withthe idea that if i was lost, at night a shot fired straight up might be visable and tell my buddies where i was.

That said, I have never even fired one of these, so don't know if they ignite or if they are visable from the side.
