    Looks like a 62 GR long range tracer with the red tip cleaned off from polishing to me.

    That's exactly what it is...M856 tracer. I get them by the thousand and they are dang fun...especailly when doing the 'bumpfire nationals' in the back yard.
    Sometimes tracer projo's are available that are holow backed because they were never loaded with a trace pellet. These are about worthless if hollow as the time & effort to manufacer tracer comp pellets is time & money intensive. The 'loaded' M856 tracer projo's will have a copper cap covering the pellet.
    No , I did not read that in a manual or stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.... it's just the facts Ma'am.

    What's the difference between a pig and an Engineer ?

    Like that. Load it up and save it for a raiby day or night and you'll be hooked !. You need at minimum 100 yards to see it properly. Longer distances and it gets better !.
