[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3275694, member: 15054"] I tried my hardest to light off some smokless powder with spark and static. [ATTACH=full]143799[/ATTACH] I put 3031 powder into it and began striking and sparks were flying all over the powder and under it and it would not light off. I also stuck 3031 into a sidelock muzzloader and removed the nipple and added 3031 under the nipple and installed nipple and #11 cap and pop. then another cap ..pop. and 1 more cap pop goes the cap and never lit the 3031 powder. I have spilled powder and primers on carpet and vacuumed them up to see if anything would happen. Nothing happened. I have spilled bullseye and 231 and varget and none of it sparks off when vacuuming. I reload in an upstair bedroom and humidity is usually 40%. The torch striker experiment was done outside..I thought for sure it would light off. I bet pyrodex or 777 would light off. I also experimented with pointy led tipped jacketed bullets in a 30-30 to see if I could make a primer go off. The lead tip deformed and no primer explosion. I then got some hard pointy bullet Nosler custom competition 175 gr and set it against the primered only 30-30 case and began wacking the bullet with a hammer and it did set the primer off. Plastic tip Amax bullets would not set them off. CCI200. Then used Federal 210M in a 30-30 case with the Lee wack-a-mole and it did ignite on me when seating the primer. Hard primers only for that. People talk about stuff and I am the guy to experiment. [/QUOTE]
