How safe is the ammo we use?

[HiPower]

As this video from SAAMI shows, pretty damn safe. I just wish they'd have dropped that ammo off at my house instead of burning it up. Really good info!

I saw this on another site. It needs to be spread around to Fire Departments across the country. I can remember being inside burning houses and hearing sounds like something was going off, but never knew what. During the overhaul we sometimes found brass cases lying in the debris.

Good video, thanks for sharing.

I know as a reloader, I was looking at all of that mangled brass thinking "Oh, the humanity!" LOL

Thanks. I'll make sure our volunteer fire dept watches this.

There was a cop here in town a few years ago whose house burned down. He had something like 10-30k in ammo in the garage. All of a sudden it started going off. talk about fireworks!
