I found a place with great prices on pulled 54gr red-tip tracer bullets. These are bullets only & I was concerned if anything special (powder,primer, etc.) was required to load them. Will they ignite & perform correctly with my off the shelf components? Thx, HS |

This comes up every other week at subguns.com reloading discussion. The general opinion is use IMR-4895. Military uses W844, I have used Varget for lighting 308 orange tips in 30-06. I think otheres have used Varget for M196 tracer. Regular components are fine.

| I bought a can of IMR 4064 (Stick I think)powder. I have found that ball powder is better for ARs but it goes bang(it works). Will this work with the tracers? I saw in the links you posted that some people said some powders didnt work. I lean towards the minimum loads because I shoot IPSC 3-gun with it and the bullet only has to go about 3-70 feet so range isnt a biggie. It only has to cycle the bolt and go bang. Will minimum loads work or do I need max loads. |
