Ok you busters!

We have beat up every subject imaginable here from boiling ourselves tanned with home-made connotations of hot blueing to ripping our arms off with needle and pin works.......... lets go one step further.....

Cabelas used to sell a 12 gauge tracer shell. I dont see them no more........

BUT

Someone must have a recipie for a shot dip that will make shot "light up" and trace when discharged......

I think it has to do with permanganite or manganese variant???

You need to pack the pyro in the bullet (or shot) to equivalent pressure that is generated by the burning powder. Otherwise it all falls out and burns up in the barrel.
 
The tracer shot shells have a separate tracer capsule loaded into the middle of the shot charge that (roughly) follows the centre of the pattern, and that capsule is ignited by the propellant gasses the same way the tracer compound in a tracer bullet is ignited. Tracer shotshells are still made (expensive, though), and I don't see any practical way of loading them yourself.
 
I've seen a "tracer" shotshell that is supposed to be for training/practicing on clay pigeons. I think the box said something about the tracer being 'non-incendery'.

Dude... If it was safe for me to tell you how to put an incendiary mixture into a shotshell without you setting yourself on fire, you wouldn't actually be asking the question. Get it? You'd know already.

Do yourself a favor and stick to commercially available products and quit trolling the forums.
