5.56 tactical tracer

[Chupacabra Hunter]

American Eagle 5.56x45mm 64gr tactical tracer


Does anyone have any experience with this round? Will it damage or gunk up my barrel? I have a few boxes. I dont plan to shoot them at the local range rather at the ranch for fun plinking. What about an evening/night hog hunt? Any comments would be appreciated.

It should shoot the same as any other round. However, as dry as it has been lately, I would avoid shooting them. Seems like a recipe for disaster.

I agree.....its very dry in south texas as well as most other parts of texas.....

I think you should make the drive out to west Texas and have a go. Everything's already on fire there, so some tracers won't hurt!

Ive ran through about 50 boxes of the AE tracers, had no problems with them at all. I like to use them at night to create a fireworks show.

The trace element does not light until about 75 yards out of the barrel. Won't hurt your gun at all. However, as suggested, it might be *prudent* to not shoot these except into a well-controlled bank of soft clay or anything else that is not flammable. They will definitely start a fire.
