[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1508955, member: 4191"] Priming compound is surprisingly powerful for its volume. I wouldn't want to be next to a mass ignition of primers. As a kid I pulled a couple bullets from 22LR cases and let a strike anywhere match burn down until the flame ignited the primer compound in the empty casing on the garage floor. Surprisingly loud, and the case takes off too fast to see. Good luck finding the cases. I'd hear them ricochet but usually not find them. I've also seen ziplock bags full of primers hung down range and the shot from a distance with a bullet. Pretty impressive explosion. Not quite detonation speed and power, but still enough power to maim, injure, or kill, if they went off in your physical possession. [/QUOTE]
