Have you ever wondered what happens to ammunition that is stored in a house or garage when the place catches fire?
Or what about the danger of dropping a box or case of live ammunition? Can it blow up? Or can individual rounds go off and kill somebody?
Good questions. And for those of us who are reloaders, hunters or keep ammunition around the house for self defense, it's the kind of question that deserves to be answered.
When I served on a volunteer fire department years ago, I entered a burning house where it was reported that there was a large quantity of live ammunition stored. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't concerned. But that was back before the kind of testing you about to see in this video was performed.
So sit back and watch this excellent demonstration of how safe sporting ammunition really is. Click on the link below.

For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction and the seven or eight pounds of powder I have sitting here are less dangerous than my propane tanks.
