I am working on a future video and need help. Does anyone know the name of the oxidizer used in this exploding target compound? This one is 22 sensitive and different than Tannerite.

Dave, here's a formula that will work with .22's:

Potassium chlorate 60
Sulfur 10
Antimony trisulfide 10
Magnesium, 200 mesh 10
Aluminum, -325 mesh 10
Calcium carbonate +5

Thanks for the formula, I am looking for the ingredients this particular company uses. The container has two bags. The oxidizer looks like Ammonium Nitrate in prill form. My understanding is that a Ammonium Nitrate and Aluminum formula will only work if you use a high powdered rifle. I received a private message telling me Ammonium Nitrate and Aluminum can be made 22 sensitive in the right ratio. Also I note on the container it states the ingredients are flammable when mixed. I do not believe Tannerite is flammable when mixed.
The reason I am looking at this is because someone in the business was telling me these 22 sensitive targets are some form of flash powder. My experience is a tradition 70/30 flash mixture with a small amount of sulfur is 22 sensitive also.
