I am having no trouble with IMR 4895, CCI magnums primers (an oops purchase) and 174 gr salvaged bullets. I have some tracers I tried today, didnt see a one of them light. Hard to see that from a belly down shooting position and bursts into a pond. No observer.

Occurred to me that the tracer rounds may not be as heavy as ball. The gun wouldnt operate on a 4 gas setting yesterday with all ball but ran just fine today with 4 setting all tracer. Maybe the tracers are heavier??? Surely the soldiers who used these guns didnt change the gas settings back and forth continually....

I have some HE bullets to try also. Guess I will weigh them up just for curiosity sake, but intend to mix ball, tracer and HE over 45.5 gr IMR 4895 (my Garandicon loading which is what I have been using) and see how the gun acts. PJH
