    Very cool. This would be the cats meow for us loaders. If we can figure out a compound for the bases or even pc the whole bullet?

    So its basic. The flash from the powder burn charges the glow in the dark component. The late boy scout has a good video shooing a bunch at night even with a light in the back round. I viewed it on full30 but did not know how to post a link of it. Sorry.

    Midway sells Streak ammo. Says it's a new arrival.
    https://www.midwayusa.com/s?userSear...temsPerPage=48

    They used to sell Glow Ammo stickers that claimed to do the same thing

    I thought the stickers were interesting when they came out, but wasn't interested enough to buy any.

    I was told streak ammo is fake. I will let you know in a week. But then again who am I

    I hate that I feel I have to type this in here, but we are just having fun not attacking anyone or whatever

    I really do want to know if they are real so I am ordering some.

    here's how you make your own.

    get some glow in the dark powder, yes they sell it, it's expensive.

    get a bottle of clear nail polish.

    mix the two, paint the butt of your bullets, load and shoot at night.
