Tracer rounds

[Heckler303]

Hey all


Can you legally purchase tracer rounds here in Aus, or the bullets themselves for hand-loading? I want to see if 22lr and 30 calibre tracers are out there and legal to purchase.

Simple answer is no but if you google it you will find how to make them

They are awesome.

Sorry

BTW - They cause fires. And they teach you how many bullets can leave the range when the berm doesn't catch them. Like HALF. So you can't shoot when it's dry because they go unexpected places and set brush on fire.

Bloody yank party pooper. And I had high hopes.

Maybe we need a flammable ammo season in winter would love some night time dragon breath action!

You can get the chemical tracers for 12g no worries but I haven't seen rifle tracers for years

Yep I remember having to put out fires after we used em up at Singleton Range They are no big deal - over rated to be honest.

Me and a mate have the old M196 that light up bright red right out of the barrel. We go at a mad minute with one AR and one M16 and it looks like Star Wars

i remember doing that too, from a Vickers .303 machine gun and later from a M60 7.62 MG. Maybe we were fighting the same fires.

I think that was the excuse they used to ban them here if I remember right.
