Rav4 grinding noise at idle and low rpm

As shown in this video, my 2008 Toyota RAV4 3.5 L has a rhythmic grinding noise around the serpentine belt area at idle and low rpm. My educated guess is my water pump is going out or I have a bad bearing on one of my pulleys. Any second opinions would be great. The sound definitely seems to be originating from closest to the water pump. This just started or got bad enough that I actually noticed it very recently

White lightning composition?

Hey there. Does anybody happen to know what the hell Tannerite White Lightning rimfire targets are made of? I know that it is aluminum and either potassium perchlorate or AN, but there is also something mixed in with the oxidizer that looks like smokeless powder. Also it's a lot more aluminum to oxidizer ratio than regular Tannerite and honestly seems way more powerful gram for gram. tested them out and honestly I was expecting it to be more like flash powder but holy shit, it is a legit detonation with very little confinement.

Any insight would be awesome because it's really hard to find white lightning anywhere near me so if I was able to make it myself that would be sweet. I could buy regular Tannerite but it's more fun plinking with a .22
