In less time than it took you to post this, you could find Tannerite at multiple sources using Google.

Genuine Tannerite will NOT initiate using low energy rounds like .22s and handguns.

i know i can find it anywhere. i was just wondering if there was some place local people went to get it. i'd seen some places advertise that they made a low enery variant or something. I don't really care what its made of..just that it goes boom.

York Gunshow this past weekend, there was a guy selling them.. four tables worth of stuff.

about how much was it? are certain brands better that you know of?

I've bought stuff from http://www.joeboboutfitters.com/category_s/239.htm and it worked fine for me. Ed is right -- the original recipe won't detonate with a .22 (or .30 carbine) -- needs a HP rifle round. JoeBob does sell a mix with a sensitizer added that will go off with .30 carbine -- I haven't tried it with .22.

I took a bunch out to Arizona in April and shot it with .30 carbine, 7.5x55 Swiss, 7.62x54 and everything we hit went BOOM very nicely indeed.

Had one interesting experience -- shooting with my K31 at one target dangling from a string in a mesquite tree against a mountain backdrop at about 80m, I thought I saw a flash after one shot, but no boom. Closed down the firing line and went to investigate -- had just nicked the container and grazed the upper edge of the pile of tannerite inside the plastic container, and that produced a flash of the stuff that had been grazed by the bullet without the full blown detonation. Interesting! Went BOOM very nicely, though, when a direct hit was scored...

JoeBob is a very nice and accommodating guy to work with -- I highly endorse.

Did not pay attention to the prices. Just noticed the tables with the stuff.

We are our area's distributor for Sure Shot.

Tannerite is a proprietary formula. Sure Shot Exploding Targets are very different and only share a single common chemical in their formula.

The Sure Shot Magnums are Rimfire sensitive (22LR standard velocity ammo out of a rifle). They will go off with authority, and are 3-4 times more potent than standard tannerite per pound. I shoot them all the time with Fed bulk packs out of an AR upper, etc. It doesn't need to be anything crazy fast.

Sons of Guns is filming now and shooting exclusively the Magnum Rimfires. They were happy to get much bigger booms in a smaller package.

While Sure Shot hasn't been around as long, but is a pretty big company, really. Tom Knapp and other big shooters use them in their shooting exhibitions. Sure Shot is actually manufactured in Maryland...support local businesses .

Kerr Brothers Guns on VA Ave in Cumberland has it in at various times but it sells as fast as Jeff gets it in.

Just so you know what you are playing with. (Which I am sure you already do)

If I remember correctly, the projectile must impact the Tannerite with a minimum velocity of 2000 ft/s.

I have used some out at the outdoor club in oldtown while shooting its fun stuff. I will check to see how much and where we got it.

7mm Remington magnum will set it off at 800 yards,......if you hit the jar.

You were WAY out of line with Ed, who is a walking, talking, DOING encyclopedia of shooting, hunting, trapping, gunsmithing, etc. and has schooled many shooters formally and informally in the art of long range shooting.

Good luck

I've got an undisclosed amount of SureShot I ordered it from Atlantic.
Here is a crappy cell phone video of us last weekend over my brothers with a 2 pounder.

There is also a slow motion with no sound and you can see the flash.

I didn't buy the kits in the per-made containers. If you ask they also have large bulk kits! Hehehe.
