This is gun related. Most of us know of the containers of dry powder that when hit by a rifle bullet of sufficient velocity, will explode violently, right?

A word to the wise or un-wise, if you will. These are illegal in U.S. National Forests.

Not right. If you're talking about smokeless powder, they will not explode when hit by a bullet. If you're talking about something else, you'll need to let us know what you're talking about. Just saying "dry powder" isn't very descriptive. I'd have to make a guess as to what you're talking about.
 
If you are indeed to referring to Tannerite, or other binary compounds, it would also be wise to check your local and/or state laws. A lot of states now ban it being used as a target.
 
Yes, it Tannerite. You can buy it at Cabela's and other places. It comes in a small plastic jar. I believe you mix two compounds to make it go boom after hitting it with a certain amount of energy.
 
Tracer ammo is also illegal on National Forests. If you start a fire, with anything, even a spark from ricochet, you are liable for the cost of putting it out. The Feds will make a claim against you and collect what they can.
 
Kilimanjaro is correct. A few summers ago, I was shooting at a Forest Service shooting area near Woodland Park, Colorado. The local fire department came to douse a grass fire started by tracers.
