Streak Visual Ammunition

[BobM]

A review and other info about Streak visual ammo. Streak ammo sounds interesting for a non flammable tracer ammunition. Can be used at indoor ranges. Comes in a variety of calibers and JHP and Total Metal Jackets. Could be fun testing out when ammo becomes more available:

An Official Journal Of The NRA | Review: Streak Visual Ammunition

Instead of using magnesium for illumination, like standard tracer rounds, Streak Visual Ammunition uses a phosphor-based compound that doesn't produce any fire risk. We took it to the range to see how it performed.

In or out some ranges won't let you use this type of ammo? Someone here posted that where they shot at a range? Not sure the reason? I wouldn't mind having the bullets for reloading! The cool bullets are the ir type, but not from Streak.

From what read they're NOT IR, incendiary ammunition/rounds. They are a non flammable chemical compound/mixture of other chemicals than magnesium. Magnesium is very flammable. Is what's used in incendiary tracer rounds. Magnesium's lightweight, about 33% lighter than aluminum, but very easily catches and starts fires.

The Streak bullets themselves, if available, could/would be very nice for reloading!

Not mentioned in the above info, but should likely clear it and identify it upfront with any indoor/outdoor range before using Streak ammo to keep things more hospitable?

I can't remember if the bullets were US or russian ir bullets? Not related the Streak, but would be col ammo!

I remember hearing something about the Russian IR ammo being available, but it's been awhile seeing any IR around here. Here's an interesting place that used to carry IR:
