You can make Tannerite charges smaller or larger. To make smaller targets, you can simply mix a 1/2 pound target and pour the contents into a container of your choice. It’s best if the container is not brittle, but just about any container will work. Shooters have good luck using Chew/snuff cans as holders. A really good idea when shooting either small targets, or when shooting at very long ranges, is to wrap the target in Duck-Tape. This prevents a spill or leak if the bullet strikes a little low, or is a fringe hit, or hits the lid on the target. To make larger targets, simply tape one on top of the other and by hitting one, it will initiate them both…thus making a much louder target. Common sense and local noise regulations dictate how much you can use without getting cited for disturbing the peace.
Tannerite is a
binary explosive
used primarily as a
target for firearms
practice. Tannerite
is unique in that it
is exceptionally
stable when
subjected to less
severe forces such
as a hammer blow or
being dropped. It is
more than 1000 times
safer than ordinary
black powder since
it is not flammable
and can not be
initiated by any
kind of flame or
electricity. It is
supplied as two
powders which are
combined to produce
the explosive.
Tannerite is a
trademarked name,
and binary exploding
targets are a
patented invention
by Daniel J.
Tanner/Oregon.
Tannerite Company
recommends using
0.5-pound (0.23 kg)
preparations of the
substance, which
should detonate when
shot by a
high-powered rifle.
Small caliber
rim-fire or slow
moving pistol
ammunition will not
initiate a
detonation.
Tannerite
detonations occur at
a very high
velocity, producing
a large explosion
and cloud of water
vapor. It may be
useful for persons
who are firing at
long ranges; in this
scenario, a
long-range rifle
shooter places
targets downrange,
retreats to his
firing position, and
fires. The shooter
does not have to
walk down range to
see if he has a hit,
the Tannerite will
detonate and serve
as an indicator.
Since the two
components are not
explosive until
mixed, they can
legally be purchased
in the USA without a
license. They can
be legally used for
sporting purposes in
conjunction with
small arms, just
like black powder
and other exempt
sporting powder.
