I saw afew posts about the chemical I had afew questions about it nothing incedible stupid altho ill get fussed at for it im shure. How stable is ERYTHRITOL TETRANITRATE. Is it a good primary for say detonationg a mixture of nitromethane and ammonium nitrate? How about some dynamite? Im thinking of putting it in a 7.62x39mm shell i've got for my chinese sks. :confused:

Wouldn't it be a better idea to learn how to use the English language properly before playing with explosives?

I'm also guessing you're referring to Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN). It is fairly stable, used in detonation cord. There's plenty of information available on it, I suggest you do a search.

Just incase you didn't know Davo, there is another explosive called Erythritol Tetranitrate, however your point is quite correct: do a search first.
