Kicking around the idea of loading up some .308 using 143 gr tracers. Anyone have any experience with tracers?
They like to set fire to posts and dry trees and grass
But he's in Baltimore City...it's probably on fire anyway

Where would you shoot them? Out over the water? In the dry, dry desert?

Anywhere, while it's raining...

I have not had much luck trying to get tracers to start fires, in a controlled situation of course. YMMV.
They are a tool, match quality no they are not made to be. But I do think they serve a limited purpose. Shoot one in a high wind situation and you can see just how easily a bullet is blow off course over several hundreds of yards.
Now with all that out of the way, has anyone had any experience with IR tracers?

My friend in PA orders a batch of tracers and was mistakenly sent these. We haven't tried his night
vision scope with them yet, definitely a curiosity and novelty...
Burning bullets that can't be seen by the naked eye. What can go wrong?
My uncle gave me a belt of 7.62 rounds, every 4th one was a tracer (maybe 5th). I took the whole thing apart and separated the ammo. I have shot a few of the tracers here and there. The head stamp is '62. Some of them don't light but the ones that did were hard to see at under 100yds due to the short flight time and it being daylight out.
