What is the tracer burnout range for the 240B?

900m 1200m 1500m 600m

Correct Answer:

900m

Explanation:

Tracer burnout range is the distance at which a tracer round stops burning in the air. For the 240B’s 7.62x51 tracer ammunition, that burnout occurs at roughly 900 meters. Up to about 900 meters you’ll see the tracer trail and can use it to judge lead and distance; beyond that range the tracer ceases to burn, so you won’t have tracer visibility to rely on for aiming. Keep in mind the exact distance can vary a bit with ammunition lot and environmental conditions, but 900 meters is the standard figure used in training and manuals.
