Just seat the bullets deeper so they fit in your hand grenade

A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing.....

And no, this had nothing to do with handloading....

Like how to "reload" your primers with match heads? :roll:

Wow think of how many Channellocks I can buy when I sell my Dillon! This guy is obviously safe since:
A. He wears a lab coat.
B. He knows all the firearm safety rules...

Yeah, that moment was an excellent demonstration of what not to do, and it wasn't remotely the first part of the video that had me cringing.

He really should be using quality factory ammo.....

Actually, this is a pretty fascinating if positively horrific thread. Keep it going! The guy with the match heads scares me the most, as mixing match heads with the red scrape strip to make a shock sensitive primer compound brings up the possibility that a kaboom out of battery or while feeding could get the whole mag to go off. Plus there is the STUPID fact that with a box of 100 kitchen matches, it looks like you have about enough scrape strip to mix with about 4 match heads, leaving you with 96 matches left over and no place to strike them. The ROPMA (Religion Of Peace My Ass!!) ammo factory has finally answered the question of where those funky 9 mm cases with the ledge inside the case are coming from. It's pretty clear these guys don't have the time to check the OAL on the finished ammo......

What the heck do these guys think is the benefit?

In an apocalyptic scenario, I think an energy storage device like a car battery would be at least as valuable as some scrounged lead. Also, what's his plan for resizing, powder and primers?

Even though what he did in these videos is a bit silly and shouldn't be replicated, I think Grant's channel is really cool.

There's a lot of stuff that can be done with kids and some cool camping tips.

He has one that you make a two sided container from drink bottles and the two components make a pretty good fire starter.

I have most of the stuff to make his randomizer rocket with the homemade sugar rocket motors.

It's nice to see he's gun friendly since he's got 7 million subscribers tuning in. Not a fan of these two videos, making the bullets is fine but I'd have rather he not showed pulling bullets with channel locks and inserting the bullet with the channel lock press. I'd rather he just loaded them off camera and showed that they shoot then I could assume he actually used a press and maybe even a reloading book.

His video today was making a pull type fuse igniter out of a matchbook, kind of interesting.
