I was looking for good prices on some shells and came across these... Was thinking of doing some videoing of some hunting at night... What do you think these would do and how do you think they would look...

Anyone know anything about this?

It sure showed where the bullet went! I wouldn't use them if it was really dry out tho.

They absolutely, positively WILL set the woods (and most anything else) on fire.

That means thinking even more about where that bullet is going after hitting the mark.
