Very interesting. This might explain the recent ammo shortage though!

The video was posted in November of 2012 so you can't blame the shortages on it.

Would be interesting to see a similar type of video dealing with smokeless powder and primers

Now that's a little different story.....

A brick of primers in a fire is impressive. Scary but impressive.

I have all my powder and primers set in individual cells of cinder blocks in the shop. Only one container per cell, with a block on top of them also.

That's a good idea. Should somewhat protect from heat in the event of a fire.

Very informative video. Thanks. A hunter here in the panhandle parked his truck in tall dry grass about 30 yards from a major highway, with a substantial amount of ammo on board. Well, the burning grass set the truck on fire and the sound of popping ammunition got the highway closed for a short period of time. No injuries or damage other than the truck, but what a way to ruin a perfectly good day in the woods.
