Binary exploding targets

[Jerrek]

Does anyone have any experience with tannerite or any other explosive targets? Is it a big boom?

 

[John Galt]

Big fun! I witnessed several of them taped together, shot and lift an old Ford Pinto off of the ground - REAL BIG FUN!

I had huge expectations for Tannerite and it exceeded them. Great stuff! I've got a closet full of it.

So does any one make there own, or do you just buy it?

I found a few places online that have recipes for it. It's not too expensive I think I'll stick to buying. My wife would agree too since she has seen me cook

I make my own for about 1/10 the cost of buying real tannerite.

Yes, it will exceed your expectations once you get it figured out. It took me a little while to get it figured out but I think I have it now. I've since uprooted a tree my mom wanted to get rid of and I turned a large maple stump into splinters because dad wanted it split.

How is it legal?

 

[BlueEagle]

That's my question to; how on earth is it legal to manufacture your own explosives on this level? In many countries, that's a car bomb....

Tannerite is as safe and stable as an explosive can be. It is ignited by the impact of a high velocity rifle round. Dropping it, or shooting it with a pistol round will not set it off. It cannot be ignited by fire or electrical current. Tannerite uses two separate components which are not explosive until they are mixed together. So the idea is that you buy the components, then assemble it at your home. It falls under the same laws that govern the sale of black powder or smokeless powder used for reloading. Check out the Tannerite website. They have a faq. Tannerite Exploding Targets Official Website

Does it have to be a centerfire rifle round, or can a rimfire set it off?

In my experience 17 HMR will set it off most of the time if you're within 75 yards or so. But other than that it has to be centerfire.

hmm... I still don't know how the BATFE isn't all over this thread with a fiery vengence

 

[Rookie]

If it becomes too popular then you can be sure ATF will develop an interest.

I think the stuff is legal, but you're only supposed to use it in small amounts for long range target shooting. Blowing up vehicles has gotten others in trouble in the past:
