.22 LR TRACERS
Brief overview of the .22 long rifle tracer from Piney Mountain Ammunition, followed by shooting segments including POV. Distances of 60 to 80 yards in controlled conditions at specific targets. These were purchased at the Knob Creek Gun Show in West Point, Kentucky. They are also available via several online outlets from to for a box of 50 rounds. This cartridge definitely ‘lights up”. At an advertised 1070 fps, it is subsonic. I did not chronograph, but I’m thinking that 1070 fps is a stretch for this 40 gr bullet. It drops off quickly, dramatically affecting accuracy. This is also a quiet shooter; my neighbor’s dog didn’t even bark at the noise. PLEASE NOTE: You need optimum ground and weather conditions for shooting any type of tracers. You alone are responsible for your actions.

@sparta435
You are a hell of a shot, whether you are shooting off hand, laying down, rested, you are good mister! I love all of your videos and how you have so much fun but still set a good example on here.
@cheerdiver with an attitude like that no wonder.
LOL, my tracer vid uses a $1K calico in 9mm, yet only 62 views. Guess utube don’t like me, boo hoo.
@Tnoutdoors9 .pleasse test Grizzly Xtreme .45acp some time.Regards
@KILLZ66 A tracer round is no different to a standard round in respect to heat. It does not “ignite” until it has left the barrel.A subdued tracer does not ignite until some 100 yards from the barrel. I have known section or platoon commanders use an entire mag of tracer for target indication. The 4 normal to 1 tracer ratio in heavy weapons is more to do with cost as a tracer is more expensive and accuracy as the ballistic profile of a tracer changes in flight, thus losing accuracy.
hahaha thts great
@KILLZ66 every 4th as not to give the enemy to good of an idea as to where you are and to let the other squads know what direction the enemy is.
surprised how bright and thick the tracers are, almost sci-fi laser beam like, how much more do these tracers cost?
so cool!
@sparta435 yes you can get faster .22s for like hunting and stuff. but just the regular round is slow
@KILLZ66 I wouldnt think so because .22 is not a high cal. round I have a 50 round mag for my 10/22 and if i use it as fast a possible it is hot but by the time i reload it it is cooled down
I’m curious to know if muzzle temp is a concern with .22 cal tracers.
I know when I was in the army years ago we loaded tracers every 3rd or 4th round to keep muzzle temps down.
Good vid btw txs for posting
@sparta435 The .22LR is a pretty slow round, there’s not a lot of powder behind it. The standard velocity for a rifle round like the .223/5.56mm NATO is in the 3000fps range.
1070 fps? my 150$ .22 air rifle has 1050fps (sorry if i sound surprised, i dont know real firearms much but i didnt know they traveled that slow).
@CDNBadass Our laws up here are non sensical
@kinito1 …YES !!!!!
i got a box just the other day. good video thanks
That camera has really good night vision, what is the name of it?

nice, check out my tracer too everyone, lol.

Damn I wish these were legal in Canadastan!
That would b a ruger 10/22
