Glowing epoxy on bullets

Interesting..... What brand? Link or pic?

I've heard of IR-lightbulbs being tested high-caliber weaponry and Fiocchi I think had some large glow-in-the dark slugs that were more a party-trick than having any terminal ballistics, using small glowsticks in the ammo

What the??
Are you talking about a hollow base with tracer compound?
A dab of glow in the dark epoxy or paint would get blown to hell.
The box doesn’t say “tracer” on it does it?? 😆

Sounds more like a gimmick to me. Let us know how ineffective they are.

No using a weapon light either!!

Back when I lived in the Dallas area and shot indoors occasionally- I bought some plated bullets since the bases were plated- they reflected the backlight in the range and you could easily see them going downrange. It was a cool effect.

😆 Of course, it depends on what powder you’ve loaded them with! Some of my combinations have a mandatory waiting period for the smoke to clear before you can even see if you hit the target!

Epoxy on the bottom of the casing? When would you see that? Is it to help load magazines in the dark?

bottom of the projo I think he is saying.... may give the appearance of a tracer when fired.

A friend of mine has this light, it makes any projo (fired in low light) into a bright green tracer!

They weren't Hornady Vectors, by any chance, were they?
I still have half a box of those things somewhere. They did look like tracers, when they worked, but were loaded very light to keep from blowing the glow stuff out. Only ammo that ever made my Sig 226 choke.

No, bottom of the bullet.

Ok, the bullets are mixed lot from American Reloading. At some point I read that "some" of the mixed lot had epoxy on the bottom of the bullet (non the case!!!) that caused it to maybe "glow" in low light. In general the bullets from AR are a super deal unless ur going for long range bullseye.

Ahhhh, if they’re a mix from AR, good luck figuring that out unless you have a comparative. That, or have seen them before. How bout a pic??

I don't have a place to shoot in low light. I was just saying what AR said. I really don't care. Been getting decent TMJ or FMJ 115's for 4 to cents a piece and they are just fine for practice and local USPSA matches. Ain't like ur shooting bullseye....

That’s the way to do it! There’s lots of “mixed” deals too, but I just can’t make myself do that. I don’t want to have to change seating depth ten times and test everything……
