308 Win Tracers at 800 yards - TRACERS ONLY

[@kadan_gustafson6609]

Wow bullets travel a lot slower than I thought

[@sna_fu]

900m/s isn't what i call slow

[@Thestripper1]

Pretty enlightening to see how the bullets ricochet off the ground.

[@RKHarm24]

I've never shot any tracer ammo, but I do enjoy a good video like this. Everyone is having a good time seeing the bullet path and impact on the steel.

[@Highjak86]

It's pretty awesome from behind the scope too - I'd like to get a scope mounted cam and shoot this again.

[@SkinnySkinch]

@@Highjak86 Hell yeah! that would be sweet

[@Yeoman7]

That’s family right there son!
Nice 80s style music too.

[@Highjak86]

First bump

[@JimPepperTactical]

0:47-1:04
You’re welcome everyone 🤣

[@rsimpson9596]

What would be cool is set the camera by the target looking back at the shooter and see the tracers come at you.

[@RealitySurvival]

Very cool video! Love how that shows the path of the bullet. Good stuff!

[@Highjak86]

Right!

[@jonfrauen3779]

That looks like a good time. Great footage and the 80's music gave it kind of a cool effect too. Keep it up.

[@the8jrfan]

Really cool. Do more of these.

[@Highjak86]

I'd like to - they're pretty fun and it's rare to see tracer videos like this on CZcams.

[@diecaster1018]

Love the tracers, great video.

[@markmadsen6828]

You my friend are having WAY TOO MUCH FUN!!! God Bless Ya!!! Carry on....

[@sniffmoneyArmsAndAmmo]

Awesome video

[@TictacAddict1]

Time in flight is the crazy thing. 800 yds is a long trip.

[@3.0project42]

Had to put that camera there lol

[@markperacullo7541]

0:47 😎😎😎😎

[@stanfordhiga2135]

Yes, a fellow lefty!! Good shooting.

[@ratbread53023]

This is pretty cool I wish I was know about you earlier

[@fordman351w79]

Dude that's really kool looking

[@GaragebuiltOriginal]

Man I got to get some of those for my lr308.

[@richdouche8253]

Sweet times! I could spend all day doing this!

[@Y0urM0thersH0u5e]

Very cool! Were these m 62 tracers 7.62x51

[@kempoguy7597]

Wow, nice...

[@aarlowhammerbackk9595]

What about that house in the background right behind the target??

[@JeffreyBoatrightJr]

Expensive rds

[@DrJacquess]

what is the barrel length of this rifle?

[@travissturm2531]

What was the moa on that?

[@JESSEDART187]

...nice

[@kenneider5317]

Neat to see the bullet after hits ground or target

[@Highjak86]

Yeah, they do some odd stuff!

[@nickjm37fordel1]

Those are awesome, I wish they made them in more calibers :-(

[@Highjak86]

Agreed.

[@impc8265]

storm troopers are here

[@sticrzy123]

What AR10 rifle setup is this ? Looks sweet man !!

[@Highjak86]

It's a built gun. There are a handful of videos of that one on our channel page here on YT.

[@alvinhamby1779]

Glad you don't live around me. No concern about ricochets

[@tjp7927]

How long the the barrel? I'm guessing 18in? I read somewhere that a rifle needs a certain length barrel to be able to ignite the tracer. I wonder what the minimum barrel length is.

[@pickinthatbanjo]

How exactly would barrel length matter in any way? It's the initial ignition of the powder charge in the casing that ignites the tracer compound. M62 is all I've shot but it has a very thin copper cap, ideally just use wc844t mil-surp powder as that was what M-62 used to ignite it. I can't get that here but IMR-4895 also reliably ignites the compound. Hope that helps if you still wondered two years later.
Also I've heard Hogden 4895 works, and I've heard Varget works, and BC-L(2), but I can't speak for those powders as I've not tried them myself. Basically you just need to use a powder that is ignite the tracer, and make sure that you fire the tracer at a distance appropriate to the type of tracer you have. A lot don't even begin visually tracing until after 50-100 yards due to delaying agents that coat the tracer compound.

[@LCMNUNES1962]

MUITO BOM VERY GOOD SHOT TRACER 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇧🇷

[@monkeycbrown]

I'm curious how far the round travels after the ricochet!

[@kylewooton608]

J.C. Brown not far. It’s already expended 60-70% of its energy at 800, hitting the ground its dumping so much more, maybe traveled another 75-100 yards

[@br4713]

Ok the bullet lost a big part of its energy at 800yds, but if the ricochet occurs with a flat angle on the ground I wouldn't be surprised if the bullet goes few hundreds yards or a kilometers further. With these calibers the bullet can't travel further than 5 kilometers away (barrel pointing to the sky with a 45° angle) so it should be the real safety distance (dont forget that for a simple tiny .22lr bullet it would be 1 mile !).

[@Oldscudrunner]

Here is what a tracer looks like when it burns. czcams.com/video/gFe0WW0v0sE/video.html

[@Vinim16]

Eai vine

[@scottilewis3753]

Will you hear the bang before it hits you?

[@pickinthatbanjo]

Well the round is supersonic so no, it would hit you while still burning away since they burn for around four seconds. And than you'd hear the bang as you tried to figure out what the hell happened.

[@mandobadillo7005]

M8

[@dylanwatkins1019]

Isn't this old?

[@Highjak86]

It's a re-upload, but instead of a 20min video it's just the good shots of the tracers. Full video is linked in the video description and at the end of the video.

[@peterschmidt2849]

😎🔥🇺🇸

[@transformer889]

Nice presentation but how does this work, you shoot a nice video, then decide to put a piece of grapy music on top of it to ruin everything, well done
