[QUOTE="younggundavid, post: 3396111, member: 28977"] Well,,, I guess know one had any data on hand so I worked up a load and shot it through the OEHLER 35P and found a velocity I liked. Couldn't get more than 25% to light up though.. I loaded up about 5 "hot" loads and tested and still no better than about 25% light up. Talked with Jeff Bartlett at Bartlett reloaders and he said he has had multiple people tell him they are only getting about 25% to light up with the WC857... I'm going to test it with WC859... I've heard of people "scoring" the bottom of the Tracer bullet in order to achieve a higher "light Up" percentage... has anyone done this or have an idea how much "scoring" needs to occur to at least get to 80% light up.. or does it even work??
