Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Wolf round almost look like a tracer ??????????
Posted: 9/5/2005 10:54:17 AM EDT
Hello all, while I was shooting my AR late sunday afternoon, I noticed  continuous large sparks, kind of like a tracer round coming from my 16" muzzle. This large spark ( or whatever it was) left a tracer like flash at least 10-15 feet long. The ammo I was using was 62 grain Wolf FMJ. Has anyone else experienced this with .223 Wolf ammo?

Must have been overcast where you were?

That's just the Russian field expedient alternative for a Tactical light.

When it's totally dark you can take pictures without a Flash too.

I shot 1,000 rounds of Wolf through my 16" Bushy this past weekend.  I noticed a lot of those flashes as well.  Looked mostly like sparks streaking out.  Unburnt powder or crap in the casing maybe?

That is just the rifling being shot out of your barrel.


I would guess it is just unburnt powder.
