It's not that simple.
The blast radius, i.e. how far the blast will go... it goes as far as someone can hear it.
For military efficiency, i.e. how far will it go, and produce casualties in 50% of exposed people, etc there are charts for this, that the SEALS and Special forces have.
If you are using it for cutting work, i.e. bringing down a bridge or something, it's all dependant on how and where charges are placed.
Ask your local FBI office,or police bomb squad. They have experts who could answer you better.

Forever. It doesn't just stop at some point. Semtex isn't good for that kind of thing anyhow. It's a high velocity explosive made for cutting and destroying stuff at close distances. Low velocity explosives like dynamite or Composition B are better for bombs.
Sorry about the call to the ATF, but $20 is $20.

You have to specify what type of enclosure, if any, elevation, humidity, shape of the charge and detonation method, they all affect the blast area; and what type of blast area, lethal, crippling, blow down a brick wall! You kids make me laugh out loud!

why not try the FBI... I'm sure they would like to know why you are inquiring about 20 lb of high expolsives
