I have noticed that Grafs and others are selling military surplus tracers for 223. These bullets are quite long due to the tracing component chamber in the base. They are supposedly designed to mimic the flight characteristics of M855 ammo although I am wondering how close they really are. The military uses a hot burning powder WC844T to light these. For plinking, it may be better on your barrel if these don't light but if one wanted to see them light up, what civilian powder would be adequate to make these light and still have good velocity?
