A Fun But Expensive Way To Open A Safe

I came across this video on YouTube this morning. It shows a guy opening a Sentry home safe that he bought at a yard sale for 75 cents. His method was a bit unusual and, given the price of ammo, expensive. For you see, he used his CZ 550 FS in 9.3×62 Mauser. Checking the price of ammo for this African big game rifle, it ain’t cheap! Hornady lists it for $70 a box (though you can find it cheaper if you look).

The guy took four shots at the safe. That’s $14 to open a 75 cent safe! I won’t even get into the possibly valuable documents he ruined by shooting the safe. I’m sure it was fun to open the safe that way but if it were me, I might have used an angle grinder to cut it open.
