    Spotters are all basicly the same, they contain a filler of magnesium powder and a tracer element. When they strike a hard target, they disintegrate and there's a brilliant white flash and it leaves a white cloud of smoke for your easy identification. They will also light fuel.

    Thanks for the additional information. From what your telling me, then, the round should be stable and safe to store, even though it is 60+ years old. Any time we start talking about old "explosives", I get concerned.

    Thanks,
    Jim (jbrid)
