What damage can an elephant cartridge do ignited outside of a rifle?

Well Kentucky Ballistics decided to find out.

Sit back and watch what happens when big bullets go boom outside of a gun.

There is a video circulating around the internet that shows a shooter firing a pistol at an indoor range. Well a spent casing bounces back onto an open box of live ammunition setting off a live cartridge. It was all caught on the gun range’s security camera.

Well of course Kentucky Ballistics wanted to super size his testing to see what happens when elephant cartridges are set off outside of a rifle. The slow motion footage is quite entertaining and informative. The outcome will certainly surprise you.

Sit back and watch big bullets go boom. Next time at the gun range, you certainly might close the ammo box before you fire…
