First, I'm fully aware of the fire starting possibility and its not an issue where I'll be using them.
Wondering if anyone has any personal experience loading 62gr tracers for AR. I've poked around elsewhere and the only main issue seems to be the length, which is longer than a 77gr Sierra. I've seen a few places saying lower your base 62gr charge by 1.5gr to account for length. Also wondering what the rough accuracy is. Will be keeping them to 200 yards or so based on my gut feeling they'll be pretty shoddy further out. 3MOA?
There's plenty out there to be had for very short money and I'm going to pick up a few thousand rounds. I'm not concerned with whether they light or not. I'll be reloading with either WC846 or IMR4320. Hopefully the WC846 if I can find some more 8lb cans of it anywhere over the next month.
Thanks.
