Re: OT Getting Tracers to Light in 5.56-223

Tracer are not that visible close to the barrel even the issue to us sometimes didn’t light. Those that did were past 25 meters and sometime a lot farther. 7.62 were a lot more reliable and the larger calibers. Even the 9mm from the subguns worked a lot better.
Good Luck.
