TIGHTCHOKE Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Why do you want a tracer round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Knowing his background, I'll bow to Tightchoke on this, but I would guess that tracer in any calibre was originally introduced as a military training aid. This would include 12 bore - air gunners - and 22LR - cost saving over full bore for initial training. The supply continued as they were already in production with no further development costs. As far as I know, no military uses 17 HMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
