jerry · 02-01-2004, 09:03 PM

never seen 'em, gotta source?

Shaun · 02-01-2004, 09:08 PM

if you find any tell us

Tracers can fry a barrel -- I saw a guy at my local range go throught a 100rd Beta C Mag in an M4 full auto and he ruined the barrel because all 100 rounds were tracers.

go to www.cabelas.com punch in .22 tracer ammo in the web sight search engine.

If they have been loaded correctly they will cause no harm to a Barrel. The problem comes when someone that doesn't know which powder to use, uses a too hot powder and the trace checmical ignites while it is still in the barrel. Now on that note, a few here and there still won't hurt anything, or at least not to a noticeable level. When loaded correctly the tracer never ignites until it is apx 50-75 yds away from the muzzle.

Mmmmmm, tracers........ http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...linghomer1.jpg

Me and the grandson went to a machinegun shoot a couple of weekends ago, thousands of tracers flying through the evening sky, what a sight! The .50's were the best, with the minigun a close second. Never heard of .22 tracers though, but I bought some 12 gauge tracers many years ago for trap shooting.

WTH...why can't I put IMG links from photobucket in here anymore?

andrew cochran · 05-12-2008, 12:40 PM

Yep they make .22 tracer rounds. Because I'v tried em.

Orlando · 05-12-2008, 01:56 PM

They make them but rather expensive. Dont know about 22 tracers but large bore tracers will not hurt a barrel its a myth. The tracers are not ignited until they have left the barrel

simpleman601 · 05-12-2008, 09:23 PM

i heard an idea the other day that made since i friend of mine always has the last round in his .45 a tracer so he knows when he's out and when its time to reload in a high stress situation (self defense) anyone ever heard of doin this??

sell33 · 05-12-2008, 09:28 PM

never heard of that^^ but it doesn't sound like too bad of an idea....

22 tracers sound like a lot of fun i just might look into some....unless they really are illegal in Ohio??? i don't see why they would be

andrew cochran · 05-14-2008, 08:40 AM

Yep, but you'll find that they are extremly expensive.

.22 Rimfire and Specialty Ammunition

I haven't tried them yet. Keep in mind that it's possible to start fires downrange with these. I remember starting grassfires at basic training....
