So this past weekend I went to Jerome’s (Oneshot) place to hang out with my son in law and Jerome and both shoot and catch up on gun talk guy stuff…Jerome brings out an old rusty yellow painted small ammo can and asks us what our opinion was on old, wet gun powder…did we think it would burn if properly dried…So he opens up the can a friend of his gave him that was in a shed that was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan and afterwards has been outside since in the elements…it was like opening up a time capsule. There was a few bags of gunpowder, some RCBS shleel holders and other tools, and some 30 cal bullets….all wet, corroded, nasty. He grabs a small amount of gunpowder and spreads it out on his double axle trailer rear ramp area and we leave it there for around 1-2 hrs….go off and shoot, pick up some brass and just before we were leaving I reminded Jerome for us to try to light off the powder…my son in law takes his cigarette and sure as shit…the powder burns (faster than I could get my camera phone ready, sorry…) Seeing is believing but who would have thought…??? Enjoy the pics…
