    Yeah that is pretty damn cheap.

    Quick Q - how is accuracy on tracers? I've seen burning videos and they don't burn anything anywhere near similarly. Some burn out in a lot less time than others, so I can only imagine the weight loss being so irregular will have a severe impact on accuracy down range.

    Having fired a few factory rounds they really dont seem to group that well, also i would say from the batch I've used maybe 1 in 20 ignite well....

    This is good news since I really just want to utilise them as basic paper shooting projectiles (that do not ignite)

    Weighing 10 rounds gave me an average of 53.3 grains with a standard deviation of 0.253. So I'm really not expecting tight groups

    R76 for 200 pulled milsurp tracer bullets at the Nobleteq booth at Huntex. I couldn't believe it as well. Right after I bought two packs of 52gr frontier bullets @R310 a pack!

    When I asked the Frontier guy about those 52gr prices he blamed Eskom.
    I wish they offered them in bulk 250 or 500 packs in plain plastic bags and pass on the savings to the customer.
    Apparently the general consensus is, if you can afford a MSR you should be prepared to get poked on prices.

    They do. I buy them in bags of 1000.

    Phone Frontier and ask them yourself.
    Prices differ all over
