Default 8mm tracer rounds

Hello.
Can anyone tell me a fair price to pay for vintage loaded tracers? 8x57

I don't think they can be imported. If you have them they can be sold.

Careful, some of those German 8x57 "tracers", are actually explosive bullets, check the marking code.

Joe salter had a bunch of 303 for sale a while back. I think these degrade and may not function after 70 yrs of storage.

Careful you don't start a big fire with them. Good education on the crazy things bullets do when they hit things.

Actually I have quite a stash of .303 tracers both ww1 and ww2 vintage, and they work just fine, I don't think they would group 1inch at 100 yards, but that is not what they were designed for in the first place,
