Be careful out there. Darwin is ever-present

Filming like that it looks like he almost expects
things to happen. He got mighty lucky to have had
his dad there.

I learned as a teen not to shoot real old ammo.
Several were fine, then got a hiss and stuck one
3/4's the way down the barrel that just about ended
that barrel.

I don't knw for sure but, believe it could have been some
old .30/03 shells from WWI. Uncle had a coffee can of them
under the bench in his garage from the 1930's. After that one,
I pulled the rest down and started with new primers and powder.

240gr RN steel jacket solids.

IF you have any doubts, don't do it!

That was way more then 80-85K to do that kind of damage in my opinion. Guy is super lucky for sure. Moral of the story should be do not shoot old ammo like that and do not load rounds hot.

I would also add to not shoot it it you don't know how it was stored. I have shot some old ammo that still worked fine, but I was sure it was not abused in storage.

I'm quite in agreement with that. Way over 85,000psi.
