Anyone load the .223/5.56 tracers that wideners sells? There a 55gr bullet and the bag they come in say m196 http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=1196&dir=278|281|296
I have tried several loads and have had little if any succes on getting them to light down range. I started off with a light load of BLC2 at 25.5 gr, no go. Then I tried 26.5 and got nothing. Then I tried the MAX load of 27.5 with a tighter crimp and had 1 light out of 10. I then switched to accurate 2230 and stared with light load of 24.5, 25.5, 26.5 and still no dice my next load is the max at 27.3 but I havent loaded them yet because they pretty much fill the case all the way to the neck and the 55gr tracer bullets are pretty long when compared to a regular 55gr and I was woundering if it would be safe to load and shoot them? Oh and the primers I'm useing are wolf small rifle, the brass is mostly remington and pmc .223 brass that I got from http://capefearammo.com/
