| I am assuming that tracers work off of some phosphorous on the bullet. Wideners has some cheap pulled 308 tracers. I am compelled to purchase some but I don't want to worry about starting a grass or forest fire. My question, if you tumbled the bullets would the phosphorous be removed from the bullet? |

Quoted:
Probably not from tumbling...you can probably pick or or scrape it out if you wanted. What are you planning on filling the empty cavity with? with the ridiculous hazmat fees on tracers, why would you even go this route if you really don't want tracers? I apparently do not know how tracers work. Cavity? Is the phosphorous material inside the tail of the bullet? These bullets are cheap, like .08 each and I am ordering primers anyhow so the hazmat is not that big of a deal. Wideners claims that most of them are inert in any case. |

He is a pic posted elsewhere on here to give you an idea....yeah, usually the tracer compound will fill at least 1/3 of the bullet. That is why they are so much longer than other bullets of about the same weight. http://ammo.ar15.com/project/Ammo_Cross_Sections/M62_03.jpg Outstanding, thank you. I love ARFcom. I will never be too old to learn. |
