| I was shooting last week and had couple of tracers in the mix. I loaded the mags before i left home with some Austrailian from the blister packs (90s), some from the stripper clips (83) and some mixed lake city with late 80s head stamps. Anybody have an idea which had the tracers? |
All have red tips. I have never seen any in blister packs.

I have also noticed even when the red paint come off you can still tell where it was painted on the bullet. I went through a few a couple hundred of LC, the headstamps were mostly 04 maybe 60%, 01 35%, then 03 the rest. The rounds were tumbled and i bought them from someone who didn't know where they came from. Out of about 700 rounds i did find about 30 ea. of OTM that did shoot accurate. I'll pay attention next time i shoot to see if i run across some more, then try to figure out which ones are tracers. |

You're talking about the rounds having been tumbled and finding OTM rounds in there, that sounds like a mix of reloaded stuff. |
