Where can I buy large quantities of tannerite to shoot? I was at the range and saw some guys had big doggy bags of stuff and mixed it at the range to shoot and blow up.
They filled up 4 of those large cheese puff plastic containers. Where did they get all that stuff?
I know for sure they didn't goto academy and buy a bunch of singles and put it in one big bag.

I did manage to get on Amazon and see these exact items after I posted. Why is it so expensive? When I did Google search it said fertilizer company stores sell a 50lb bag for less than $50 but could not Google good enough to see any stores near me that carry it.

It may just not be listed online and have to give them a call. Still not sure what or where a fertilizer store would be since I've never had any experience dealing with them.

For starters, shipping. I never found a local source, granted I didn't really look that hard. I bought 25 lbs and that's probably all I'll use all year so an extra $25 so my lazy ass doesn't have to do anymore googling, calling, and driving works for me.

Some of that Ammonium nitrate has urea added to it.  Make sure you're buying urea-free bags.

Considering most pre-packaged targets are $6-7/lb, that isn't too terribly expensive.

How could one tell aside from what's in the ad? I haven't used the stuff I bought from that seller yet, just went off the reviews, though obviously what I got could be different from what they got.

It'll be listed in the ingredients.  

If it's an add for tannerite stuff, you'll be fine.

Most of the mix ratios I've seen are 95/5 by weight. Not sure if your post is equivalent or not but just saying.

They pretty much stopped selling AN 34-0-0 in my part of the country in the 50 lbs bags. And I hate to say it but they are right...it can be misused. Sorry but it is the truth.

Pretty close, kinda depends on how much aluminum powder you use and how much you get, that site doesn't say. The 5 lbs I linked at amazon is enough for 100 lbs of targets based on 20:1 ratio but their website says use about 12 grams which is closer to 40:1.

Your version is 5% aluminum, his is 4.76% aluminum.  Probably close enough not to make a difference.

most farm stores in my area don't stock ammonia nitrate. have to go to a specialized fertilizer dealer.  AN draws moisture bad, coated is fine you just have to put it in a blender to break it up( before adding aluminum powder).  even then most will not sell you the nitrate unless they know you and know you have a specific use for it. like farming.

1 pound blended nitrate to 1 small tablespoon of at least 600 mesh alum powder.  the more better you mix it the better the boom.
