Welcome to D.A.Y Distributing. We are wholesale
distributors of the finest 22 long rifle (LR) tracer
ammunition available. This non-corrosive, high-velocity
.22 Long Rifle ammunition produces a bright red/green tracer
trail of approximately 100+ yards. Since the trail is visible
day or night, it allows you to see a clear view of the
bullet's trajectory, flight path and impact point. It also
makes great practice ammo as it allows you to track the
exact path of the bullet, helping you to understand its
dynamics. This quality ammunition will not damage your
firearm. Tracers are made in the U.S.A.!!!

SOME HISTORY OF TRACER AMMO

Before the development of tracers, gunners relied on seeing their bullet
impacts to adjust their aim. However, these were not always visible. In the early
20th century, ammunition designers developed "spotlight" bullets, which would
create a flash or smoke puff on impact to increase their visibility. However, these
projectiles were deemed in violation of the Hague Convention's prohibition of
"exploding bullets." This strategy was also useless when firing at aircraft, as
there was nothing for the projectiles to impact on if they missed the target.
Designers also developed bullets that would trail smoke. However, these
designs required an excessive amount of mass loss to generate a satisfactory
trail. The loss of mass en route to the target severely affected the bullet's
ballistics. The British introduced a tracer version of the .303 cartridge in 1915, and the USA
introduced a .30-06 tracer in 1917. Tracers proved useful as a countermeasure against Zeppelins used by Germany
during World War I. The airships were used for surveillance and bombing
operations. Normal bullets merely had the effect of causing a slow leak, but
tracers could ignite the hydrogen gasbags and bring down the airship quickly.
As the years passed technologies became more advanced and people could
begin to perfect the use of the tracer cartridge.
