    LEP, could you explain how you do that? Is there some specific chemical to look for in the nail polish or ??? I have tried some different things to keep old .308 tracers from lighting and haven't had any luck really. The best I could do is maybe have 25% of them not light up.

    I was actually trying the opposite with some .311 tracer boolets for my Mosins. I never got one to light unless they impacted a hard target. Then I would see a small flash of light.
