key word: "UNRESTRAINED" !!!!
The cartridges are not in chambers in said campfire. Common sense, people. Put a loaded round in a body die (RESTRAINED in a make shift chamber) and then throw it in the campfire. Have your next of kin let me know how that worked out for you.

how much different do you think it would be if the "barrel" was cut off at the end of the round?

Put a round in a revolver cylinder (chamber) and hit the primer, what do you think is going to happen to the bullet ??? Do you honestly think it is just going to dribble out the top ????
I did not say not to do it. I simply said I would not do it with my family members in rooms above me and now I have to make three more posts and link to idiots on youtube to prove a point... </div></div>
No you still did not prove your point. The idiots on myth busters threw a bunch of ammo into a 1000 degree fire and then it exploded. Which did the EXACT thing I said it would do. Here we are talking about a single round in a body sizing die that has NOTHING to set off the primer or ignite the powder. In fact there is a nice hole under the primer when loaded in a press. Now lets cover what would happen if a round did go off in a body die.
1) Powder ignited by act of god
2) Pressure builds and the body die acts a chamber for ONLY the case wall. Not the shoulder or neck.
3) As the pressure builds it will take the path of least resistance. Thus dislodging the bullet and in the process blowing out the shoulder and expanding the neck (same as fire forming)
4) As soon as the bullet exits the neck of the case all the pressure becomes undirected and again follows the path of least resistance thus no longer pushing the bullet. Thus the bullet flies almost no where with any significant force.
5) End result you get a big muzzle flash, a bullet that goes at best a few feet with any significant force, and a probable trip to the ED for an MI because the scared the shit out of yourself. </div></div>
Whatever, knock yourself out.
