Has anyone tried these rounds:

I think they'd be fun to shoot, but for the price I want to know how they work first. Thanks.

$99.99 plus shipping for a 250 rd box! (And nothing smaller available)
I think I"ll pass on the thrill of possibly setting something down range on fire.

Deadin, DONE THAT.... Was shooting at dirt hill and leaves from trees around hill caught fire. Got it out, but there for a while I thought I was in deep Doo.

they literally serve no purpose, and I love 22's.

They work ok if they're fresh. And you shoot them out of a rifle, they wouldn't work out of a handgun. I bought a box years ago when Ely made them and somewhere between a half and a third were duds in the tracing department. If they were $5 a box I might take a chance, but at $20 a box plus shipping I'll pass.

You might check out a gun show for a smaller quantity.

produces a bright-red tracer trail of approximately 150 yards

Who shoots 22LR that far?

At what range to the start to light up?
