Then I have a bandoleer that has groupings of twenty 00 Buck, ten #1 Buck, ten slugs, and five compressed lead breaching rounds for door locks and hinges. I have two empty loops separating each of the groupings and the slugs loaded in reverse direction so I know what's where on the bandoleer.

I've got a similiar 55 shell setup for the 12 ga. double barrel shorty. Two then an empty loop. The bandolier carries #4 buck and 00, #4's in front, 00 in back.

The 25 rd waist bandlolier belt holds slugs. Both belts will also feed the Ithaca 9 shot M+P featherweight two at a time as well set up this way.

To answer the OP, I sometimes carry ball ammo in a spare mag. I don't mix and match a mag however I'd have no problem mixing ball in the HP mag, I just don't.

As far as feeding, my glock has eaten anything I feed it. The only mix n match would maybe be whole mags, maybe JHP's in the gun, and a mag of FMJ's on the belt, I know Murphey would bite me in the and the top rounds would be the last ones I would want for the situation I ended up in.

I hadn't thought about a tracer round down near the bottom, kind of a visual (almost out) indicator.

But never forget Tracers always lets the enemy know exactly where your at too!

A pistol, this isnt too much to worry about, but tracers in defense rifles.....well thats not my bag.

The best thing to do, is when you shoot ALWAYS count your shots.
After time, this becomes second nature and your brain can do it automatically.
That would be a better option IMHO than tracers.
