They are more available than the others.
Supply / demand. |

I've thought about getting some API, but I wouldn't dare shoot it out here unless there was a blanket of snow on the ground.

That's when I shoot them, or at some sandstone bluffs near the house. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Every time Joe allows API/tracers, no matter how much rain has hit the ground, we have to call a cease fire to put the fire out

they are what I mostly shoot. My range is only 100 yards and in a pit with soft dirt backing or shoot trough open fields that have large trees at the 1000 yard mark
I have never had one go off in the soft dirt and if it did wouldn't matter or when hit the soft trees. i believe They have to hit something fairly solid to go off |

Looking to reload, but finding pulled ball bullets is proving to be difficult. Seems like API is much more common and at around half the cost. Why is this? Do they just cause wildfires easily? Mostly because they are banned at most ranges. I shoot mostly API's for economy but I'm shooting into a hillside where I have no worries of starting a wildfire. Some days they are very accurate and other days they are not. For their ability to punch through steel or take out a hostile vehicle, they are quite a bargain. |

Ricky,
Are you sure that the ones you'be been shooting are good? The reason I ask is that when I was in the military, if API hit anything they would go off. Even soft dirt would do the job and those trees at 1000 yards... make sure your car or truck is running and you have fire fighting equipment in it if you ever hit one. API start fires and not just regular fires, anything and everything that gets hit with the incendiary mix starts on fire. Just something to think about while you're shooting them. |
