They may be. The Oregon state code does not address tracers by name, but may address them indirectly in this section of the State Codes-
166.330 Use of firearms with other than incombustible gun wadding. Any person who uses in any firearms discharged on lands within this state, not owned by the person, anything other than incombustible gun wadding, shall be punished upon conviction by a fine of not less than $5 nor more than $100, or by imprisonment in the county jail for not less than two days nor more than 60 days.
In my opinion, whether legal or not, you must exercise great care with tracer ammunition. As a retired soldier, I have fired enough tracer to fill a large truck or two, resulting in countless range fires. However, OUR ranges have firebreaks plowed around them, and the fires do little harm. If YOU start a fire, you are financially responsible for the damage it can do, and the cost of putting out the fire. This is potentially millions of dollars. Tracers DO have a tail of very hot flame about 2-3 feet long behind the bullet in flight, and WILL set things on fire.
