Piney Mountain .22LR GREEN Tracer 40 Grain – 50 Rounds (Box)

Piney Mountain .22LR green tracer ammunition is one of the most entertaining boxes on our rimfire shelf, and for good reason. Each 50 round box sends a 40 grain bullet downrange trailing a bright green burn you can follow with the naked eye. It is a genuine tracer load, not a novelty coating.

Watching your own shots arc toward the target changes how you practice. Trajectory, wind drift and follow through stop being abstract ideas and become something you can literally see happen in front of you.

What Piney Mountain .22LR Green Tracer Is and Who It Is For

This is a low light and after dark load first and foremost. The green trace shows brightest once the sun is off the range, which is when most people shoot it and when it teaches the most.

Plinkers, night shooters and anyone running a rimfire on private land will get the most out of it. It is also a favorite for teaching new shooters, because a visible flight path makes a miss instantly understandable instead of a mystery.

The 40 grain bullet weight is the standard .22 LR projectile weight, so this load feeds and cycles like the ammunition your rifle already likes. Semi automatic rifles, bolt guns and lever actions all handle it without complaint.

Specifications and What They Mean

The 40 grain weight is the reference standard for .22 LR. Because it matches what most rimfire ammunition weighs, your zero should not shift dramatically when you swap over, though a quick confirmation is always worth the two minutes it takes.

Tracer construction means a pyrotechnic compound in the base of the bullet ignites on firing and burns during flight. The green compound used in Piney Mountain .22LR tracers is chosen for visibility against dark backgrounds, and it does that job extremely well.

Fifty rounds per box is the traditional rimfire count. That is plenty for an evening session, and tracers are best shot in moderation anyway, since half the fun is watching each individual round rather than dumping magazines.

Consistent ignition and repeatable velocity keep the trace uniform from shot to shot, which is exactly what you want when you are using the burn to read trajectory.

Range Rules, Care and Compatibility

Tracers can start fires. That is not a warning to skim past. Never shoot this ammunition into dry grass, brush, hay or anything else that will take a spark, and check your local range rules first, because many ranges prohibit tracer ammunition outright.

A wet backstop, a dirt berm or a snow covered field is the right environment. Cold weather and damp ground make tracer shooting far safer and every bit as much fun.

Clean your bore afterward. Tracer compound leaves more residue than a plain lead bullet, so a proper scrub with solvent and a brush after a tracer session keeps accuracy where it belongs.

Store the boxes cool and dry like any rimfire, and keep them away from heat sources given the pyrotechnic element. If you want practice rounds to shoot alongside them, our ammunition selection has plenty of standard .22 LR to run in the same session.

Grab a couple of boxes of Piney Mountain .22LR green tracer for the next evening shoot and watch a familiar rifle become brand new again. Nothing on the rimfire shelf gets more people smiling. This ammunition ships straight to your door wherever state and local law allows.
