147 gr tracers do they need to be loaded to a minimum velocity or can I load them to the 150 gr section of the books.
 
Re: loading tracers ?

The 150gr load will be fine. I have a good 100+ of that exact bullet (orange tip/red trace) loaded and without looking I'm pretty sure they're at 45grains of Varget.
 
Re: loading tracers ?

150 load data will work fine, I use N140 just under book max.

Little tip on loading tracers. Poke a small hole in the back of the cup with a push pin or needle. You will increase your chances of haveing them light past 100M if these are pull downs.
