[Len-2A Training]

Do you use welder's glasses with it at night?

 

[C-pher]

I'm thinking that after the first shot, you can't see to well...

 

[9000S]

OK, stop using the light rounds and stick some real loads in there.... (^_^)

Seriously, at dusk, the 'flash' is highly impressive. I can just imagine what true darkness would be like.

 

[EddieCoyle]

I've got some pretty flashy loads. I think I'm going to have to take a video at night sometime.

Those mean ones you had at the Spring shoot made a pretty flash

 

[MegaPlinker]

Wow, thats one loud flash light!

 

[pipmaster1971]

How on earth did you manage to take the picture? I'm assuming you weren't just lucky?

pics were 'borrowed'

Low light pics of muzzle flash are not that hard. Even easier now with digital cameras as you can see the result and make adjustments.

Put the camera on a tripod. Manually set the F-stop to something high like 22 and the shutter for several seconds. Have a friend or use a timer. Click shutter button, Fire, wait for shutter to close. Review. If the image is too dark, open up the F-stop a little. Your muzzle flash acts like a camera flash resulting in the photo.

You do need it fairly dark and no other lights in view of the camera to work well.

With that much flash, how much of the powder do you figure is actually used to propel the bullet? Half? Maybe 3/4? Is there any ballistic advantage to having a large excess of powder?
