We all know about Tannerite [:D] You should try some of this, just a little chemistry experiment somebody did.

KCLO3 - 60%
AL - 10%
MG - 10%
Antimony Trisulfide - 10%
S - 10%

    Do the explosive targets have a shelf life? I bought a few of the 1lb star exploding targets about a year ago. just went to shoot the last one and it didnt do anything but fall over.

    I know you have to mix these very well to make them work and i shook that thing for a good 5 minutes. All the little balls that spilled out when i shot it were coated in that grey catalyst, there were no white ones that i could see. This is the second star target that didnt do anything. The last one i shot with my 308 this one i shot with a 223. Ill try a different brand next time.

    ...One of the "classic" salute mixes. Before I knew any better, I used K chlorate rather than perchlorate. Either one will make you
    feel the "WUMP" in your chest. For targets, I don't feel the need
    to risk life or (another) limb.
