Wow is all i can say about this ammo! i shot 20 rounds every single one lit up, i fired them at a hill about 1100 yards away and all of them burned til they hit the target! it took them about 100 yards before they fully lit up nut on of the most amazing things to see, very educational for yousters also it shows how far a bullet can travel and still Ricochet. getting over 1000!

i ordered 5 boxes of these about a week ago and finally had time yesterday to go and shoot some. i threw a box of 20 down range out of my bushmaster m4 and had all 20 light. man they looked wicked flying thru the air. i think most ppl that are havin problems with these arent using a long enough range as they are not supposed to light untill they are roughly 100 yds away

I got a box of these a few weeks ago. Took my Bushmaster M-4 out today to shoot. When the night came upon us I loaded up 10 of these in the mag and did a rapid fire down range at a 1000 yard range. Not one light up not even when they hit the berm or the ground. Also, the ones I received had a bad smell to them showed lots of discoloration on the brass. One could tell these were sitting in some bunker before they became surplus.... Not worth the price if they don't light up!!!

I don't know what back ground any of you have here. I am ex USAF 6 years and have shot geniune LC M856 tracers while in it. The military uses Lake City orange tipped M856(lc)(+)NATO on it's training ranges. A friend bought a box of 20 rounds of this stuff and we went shooting at night. Only about 3 rounds out of 20 rounds were actually fairly visible even when shooting into the sky out in the desert. These rounds are labled Lake City lc '08' if you look on the primer meaning they were likely 'reject lots' made in 2008 that didn't make milspec standards so they were auctioned off to be pawned on civilians. Real quality geniune rounds will be very bright and trace out to 1 mile or so in my experience. They will look nearly exactly like the laser weapons on Star Wars at night and even be visible during the daytime. I might buy another box being it could have been bad luck.

I have shot these tracer rounds before with no problems and I am buying more right now. This is the cheapest Iv'e seen them as of lately so buy 'em up.

I sent over 800 of these guys down range and not one misfire or jam in my DPMS M4. My buddy liked the tracer b/c he could see the bullet hit the target downrange. I bought over 1000 rounds and am glad I did.

At 850 yards, rounds were visible all the way down range, even after bouncing off the ground and 75 feet into the air. Some shells are a little tarnished though which raises some questions.

Fired two strings of 20 and everyone lit! As advertised.

I bought 3 boxes and every round worked wonderful! good buy and good fun!

For M4 Rifleman. You need to know that tracers (all US tracers) don't light up until 75-100 yards (more on the 100 side). It was designed this way so the bad guys wouldn't know exactly where we are shooting from.

great, my buddy and i shot about 100+ of these threw our AR15s and only had a problem w/ 1 bullet which ignited in the barrel of the gun instead of after coming out of the barrel. these are awesome. i def will be buyin plenty more of these

I bought two boxes. They all fired just fine. The bullets look like they came out of Vietnam. Also, it left my AR really dirty. So if you get some, clean your gun afterwards. But any gun lover knows to always keep there gun clean. I give it a 4 out 5 because it did what was advertise.

Ammunition worked just fine. Not a single misfire, all casings ejected perfectly. Tracers lit just fine. A few had continued bright red burn in the berm at the range I was firing at. Good looking rounds, good price. Best effect is achieved at dusk or in the morning and at ranges 100+ yards if you want to witness the streak. Anything under 100 yards and it's easy to assume they didn't light when they did because of the speed. Bought two more boxes just now, good stuff.

I fired a full box of 20 of these at 100 yards. Only 2 rounds ignited, both after impact with the burm. These tracers do not appear to be good quality from a tracer perspective - but the rounds themselves fired just fine.

I have shot several boxes of this stuff through my Bushy M-4 and it performs like a champ. Zero FTF and Zero non-burn. All I got was a good long burn every single time. This stuff isn't exactly cheap, but it is fun to play with from time to time.

I've bought about 10 boxes of these. I noticed the dates they were made varied so it looks they were put in these boxes out of a massive pile of loose ammo. But, they shot fine. In fact they burned bright for at least 300 yards. I bought a case of tracers that were pulled/reloaded from another source and wanted to compare these with those. These tracer were much more consistent and seemed to be more accurate. These may have been a bit slower, but that's subjective. They were definitely more consistent in their flight. The ones I have shot so far have all worked. If your concerned about "looks", buy a bunch and regroup them. They all shot great, and many of the newer ones were good looking brass as well. Anyway, all things considered...performance being #1, I was very happy with these.

at first i thought i was doing something wrong, then i had the feeling i was ripped off, but after reading the other reviews it must be a low percent success rate for these rounds. I purchased 2 boxes (40 rounds) just to be safe in the event this would happen, only fired 10 rounds. none ignited. will test the remaining 30 hopefully i'll get at least one or two rounds to work.

Tracers work great light up very bright

This ammo works PERFECTLY, but the box is mislabeled, M856 tracers aren't 64 Grains, they are from 61.2-61.8 Grains but besides that, they don't go bad over time and work well!!! and tarnishing happens, it will work in ur rifle, if U choose 2 polish them, thats fine but we don't care..... and jus so ppl kno, the other 5.56mm tracers (M196) (54 Grain) after long storage times the tracing compound degrades and they may no-longer ignite....just so U kno ;)

Every round burns bright and function flawlessly in my rifle. I will be ordering more.

I'm sorry, but that's what you get with a lot of brass military surplus ammunition. It's not going to come to you shiny and new with a mirror finish. This ammunition is Lake City Arsenal M586 placed in a new flashy box. When brass sits around for a while it will tarnish unless it's coated with a varnish. I'm wondering when people will realize that military surplus stuff isn't always in brand-new condition because it comes from warehouses from across the globe that can be locked up for 30+ years.

Each round I removed from the box was heavily tarnished and some had corosion on them. Five rounds in the box had small dents in them. These must be old military tracers that were removed from links and repackaged. I spent 20minutes cleaning the corosion off of each round. They should be paying me to take the rounds...

These rounds fired fine for me without failure to burn. Just be careful where you are disharging your firearm though. Make sure you only use these at a range where you can make sure they terminate in a berm or catch so that you don't accidentally start a fire with dry grass or leaves. They will continue to burn until the strontium and magnesium exhaust their material. So, if your round falls dead on grass it could possibly start a fire. Mine would sit there hot burning red after terminating at my shale berm for a few seconds. Have fun folks :)

Bright red tracer rounds all the way to the target.
