Does anyone have a good load for .308 or 30-06 147gr tracers? I can't get mine to light off. I'm using a heavy crimp and a pretty hot load of 4320 over a Win. primer. I think the 4320 might not be hot enough. Any ideas? I've tested them in my .300 Wby so I know the bullets aren't duds. I just don't want to shoot them in that gun.
