I found 5 rds of 8mm Mauser. head stamp is FN 69 and it has a red tip. Is this tracer? Thanks.

I also have some FN 69 tracer. How far out does it light?

That will burn bright at about 100meters and stay lit until 8 or 900meters. It does not seem as bright as USGI M25 tracer to me, kind of a dim, dark red trace. Most of my FN 69 tracer does light up...very few failures to trace.

Thanks Ammolab. I also have several hundered rounds of yugo tracer. When do they begin to trace?
Thanks

Never had the chance to shoot the Yugo 8mm tracer... more than a few rounds 'slipped in' with all that Yugo 8mm ball lately....someone should know about it.
