Quoted: I have been firing them from about 100 yards, so I guess I should try firing them at longer distances.

At 3000 fps+ velocity, they moving so fast, that by the time they start to light and your eye recognize it, they hitting the berm... I've fire same from a 7.5" barrel, and with them moving soooo much slower (22-2300 fps), I can pick them up at maybe 50yd and watch them fly breifly into the dirt.
More fun if you have the room to do it (like the bottom of WV in the hills) is to hike the rifle up in elevation and aim towards the big mountain, fire and watch them burn out in flight. I did some M-856's, and got call from friends daddy wanting to know if it was me shooting tracer... he was 2 mile to the right of my flight path (he was seeing them go from left to right)
