[QUOTE="okienate, post: 808550, member: 2897"] If 140 is the magic number, the folks in the Middle East and Africa are gonna be in for a surprise. Temps are pushing in excess of 120 outside the vehicle/storage containers, and I'd venture a guess inside the vehicles/ovens over there it'll go above that pretty easily. Would have thought we'd have a need to purchase "ammo coolers" if 140 was high enough to touch off the powder in our folks rounds over there. PS Powder doesn't "explode", it burns. The rapidly increasing pressure caused by the gas during the burn cycle is what pushes out on the projectile and case.....not tryin' to be a smarta$$, it just comes naturally.....:hey3: PS If you want a REALLY scientific discussion on this, then you may want to buy this white paper for formal resolution of your inquiry: [URL="http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/109618266/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0"]http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/109618266/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0[/URL] [/QUOTE]
