Saw a video of guy shooting his guns and his immediate spent casing bounce off the wall and landed on his exposed cartridges(cartridges were upside down) and managed to set off the cartridges!!!! Can hot brass set that off?
Man the odds of that have to be astronomical...
Very interesting. As the caption says, it's caused by the impact of the empty that bounced off the wall. It must have hit one of the live rounds just exactly right and with significant force to get the primer to go off. It's not something that I, personally, would worry that much about. My feeling is that the odds of it happening are very very small. That said, it hurts nothing and is really easy to just close the box while you're actually shooting.

Off topic. But it seems some comment always opens the door. Any way member at my club pushed for a no smoking ban on the out door range for just that purpose. This a few years before such bans became popular. And here’s me shooting fire breathing percussion hand guns at my station. The logic sort of escaped me then. The measure did pass however.Thanks for sharing. Still hard to image even though I watched it 5 times. I am always cautious about blackpowder at the outdoor range. Always seems like someone wants to smoke next to me during a cease fire if I bring any.
Yes it is off topic just another range safety tip. I don’t smoke but I never minded smokers at the range as long it’s not in my face or my gunpowder. (I know I send others a smoke screen when shooting blackpowder.). On topic, primers are an interesting little invention for sure. When handloading I wear safety glasses when priming.
