Shock Wave Targets

[mdrim13]

I bought "Star" brand exploding targets from Cabelas a couple years ago. I shot it first with a 7.62x39 HP and then a 55gr .223 FMJ and then a 230gr .45acp JHP and couldnt get any of them to blow up. I took them back to Cabelas an they gave me new ones and told me I didnt mix them enough. I took the new ones, mixed them twice as much as I was supposed to according the directions and repeated the process with all three targets and guns and couldnt them to blow either. I took them back and got a refund. I was disappointed that they didnt work.

i am surprised they took them back. Once mixed, they are "less" stable and the ones that were shot, have been sensitised. Glad you got your money back. They are $7.99 each here for 1 ib. They are coming up with a two pound shaker according to their web site.

Stuff looks like ammonium nitrate and a liquid detonator mix. Around here AN is used for corn due to its high nitrogen content as it breaks down.

This stuff too looked like ammonium nitrate but the calylist was a powder that looks like gunpowder. I believe it was $4.99 on sale.
