The details..

How To Make Your Own Tracer Ammo is an informative guide for reloaders and others who want to make their own tracers but don't know where to start. The information provided is based on proven techniques from experienced Class 2 manufacturer Ed Richardson that have resulted in thousands of bright, reliable rounds in several calibers.

The pamphlet explains how to obtain and/or make the tools needed; obtain and mix chemical compounds; calculate pressures; load test loads; loading techniques; field testing methods. After initial setup it's easy - just occasionally mix batches of chemicals or drill out bullets then press them into ammo!

Common sense should be used when making tracers such as wearing rubber gloves, safety glasses & dust mask while mixing & grinding chemicals, not near open flame nor with water coming into contact with magnesium (which produces explosive gas hydrogen). Keep away from children.

Readers are reminded this document isn't official scientific advice written by chemists or persons involved in business of making tracers so use common sense before proceeding further.
