They just wasted good ammo. Any shooter know that for a bullet to gain speed…pressure needs to be built in the round, contained in the chamber and in the barrel. Any reloader know that propellant does not explode. It burns at different speed creating gas.. Primer are explosive but they are very small explosion.Black powder ”type F” is explosive,In the way that it burns faster. but still need to be contained to build enough pressure to do damage.Type F is more Fire hazardous.
A fire in a Hardware store is more dangerous than a fire in gun store. And now they have a video to prove it.

I thought the video was outstanding. However as near as I could tell none of the ammunition tested was rimfire.

Glad they did such a thorough test. The results were different than what I had expected.
I wish they would have tested ammo stored in an ammo can.
