Is there a way to make your own?
Can you buy or make whatever is on the tip and dip in your own rounds?

The "stuff" on the tip is paint so you know it is a tracer/whatever and just rubs off.

Actually it's quite easy to make tracers and incendiaries. AP too!
You need to get a copy of this book by Duncan Long. I believe it may be out of print but a quick scan of the net found several copies available at various prices. Again, THIS book only. There are a few others by long with names that are similar, but this is THE ONE.
Combat Ammunition:
Everything You Need to Know
You use a road flare to make becoup tracers. That and a little epoxy. Yes, I have done it and it works great.
Good luck!
ADDENDUM; Although it should be obvious, you must be able to load your own ammo to produce these.
