I'm doing several of these. Posting one of the 12 gauge today. Set off two buckshot and one birdshot shells.

With all due respect to your not watching the video and commenting on it anyway, research was done prior to the range session and the danger was pretty slim. Still, safety precautions were taken. Thanks for your concern for my safety. If you find research that contradicts the 150 years of data from countless sources that find what I did to be safer than driving the car to the range, please feel free to post it.george burns said:I didn't watch the video, but voted a few days ago for the answer with 22 votes, I am assuming that was correct. But I suggest you find something less unstable to do before one of these things goes sideways on you.
Yeah, there was no good way with our setup to focus the heat just on the primer. I though of a soldering iron, but that would require contact that would restrict the rear of the case.Once you weakened the structure with the torch, you minimized the integrity of the shell, thus opening the exit area.
