GLOW AMMO 45 CAL COLD TRACER KIT

Glow Ammo is a cold tracer technology that can be applied to any cartridge that you are hand loading. It takes a bullet and turns it into a non - incendiary tracer. Because there is no fire or flame associated with the trace Glow Ammo is safe to shoot at any range. There is no fire hazard. Cold Tracer's work best in a dim environment. Glow Ammo performs best with Alliant Bullseye and Hodgdon Titegroup propellants. Kit has enough material to treat 255 rounds of ammunition.

Watched them all.....To cool...Only thing I wonder how much it affects how the bullet flies....Either it affects it a good bit or that guy can't shoot a pistol worth crap.

.Only thing I wonder how much it affects how the bullet flies.

When you get some loaded let me know and I'll come down the road and watch!

I would love to check this out....it "treats" bullets so i don't think should affect flight but don't know....

 

[RIDDLE]

Now thats cool! I wonder if it would leave anything in the barrel?

 

[RIDDLE]

If some body will load me some 225 .45ACP rounds I will buy them.

 

[mtgldr]

if it's non incendiary then it's not burning? so the force of the propellant does this?

It is a Sticker like thing you stick on the bottom.....My guess is it is like a glow stick....Like how you would make a "glow stick" at home.....A little bit of
Diethyl Phthalate
TCPO
sodium acetate
Rhodamine B (for the red color)

And then some form of Peroxide in a separate pressure sensitive inner capsule so that when fired the compression would disperse the peroxide throughout making it Glow....

All this in a little Sticker sized thing...

Just going to add
If they used
9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene instead of the Rhodamine B it would give a bright green glow
Rubrene for yellow ( Lot brighter than green or red)
9,10-diphenylanthracene for blue (Very Bright Violet color)


Side note: The way Glow sticks work is by having the above in the tube, with Peroxide in a small glass tube inside.....That is why Glowsticks make the crack sound when you "break" them, allowing the peroxide to mix in and allow the reaction to start....
