Tracer compound. | Projectile type | Tracer | Colour markings | White tip. Black neck. Black primer. Half of the case head is black. | V0 mps | - | V0 fps | - | Propellant | - | Propellant weight Gram | - | Propellant weight Grain | - | The reduced charge tracers are identified through having half of the bunter painted black. The tracer is used only for training devices for the 8cm rocket rifles m/49 and m/51, and also for the Grenade rifle GRG m/48 series. Both training systems are phased out today and the ammunition are not produced any longer.
The training systems has a short barrel of around 30-40 cm.
I am investigating if the ammunition might have been used also for the kanongevär, a full-length barrel of a m/96 rifle used for simulations in canons. Until an answer can be found in print, I would not recommend using the ammunition in full barreled rifles.
All reduced charge ammunition for Sweden, has the white tip of the bullet. If the tip is red, it is manufactured for export.
