The tracers will not group well at all because of the burning going on inside of them. Each seems to ignite at a slightly different range so they will not all weigh the exact same at the same range. Should be no problem loading them and I don't think you'll have any problems with extra fouling as it doesn't stay in the barrel long enough to do any damage. If they are the orange tipped ones they don't even start tracing until around 100 yards away anyway. Red ones fire off immediately.
