![]() Yes, there are powders that are more efficient (less grains, higher velocity) but this really only happens in guns with very short barrels. kind of like gas mileage in a car, but this theory is far from true. Many people think 100% of the powder must burn in the gun. unless you weigh each powder charge precisely and even then it's very difficult to get under 25 fps spreads. This is almost impossible with faster burning powder where you are lucky to get spreads under 50 fps. 1gr, it is not unusual to see max velocity spreads under 10 fps with W-296 or H-110. way tighter than with any faster burning powder with the same. Only so much powder will burn so when you chronograph these loads, velocity will be quite consistent. How? Let's say you intended to load 16gr of w-296 in a 357 Mag but your powder measure was drifting and dropped from 15.8 to 16.2 gr. it self regulates velocity, making velocity spreads very low. Another little know thing about a large muzzle flash is. Meantime, these two powders are about as good as it gets when it comes to developing high velocity and excellent accuracy. Why? It takes about 15 inches of bullet travel to burn up the powder so any barrel length shorter than 15" is going to create progressively bigger flash with shorter barrels. In fact with magnum loads using slow burning powder such as W-296 or H-110, you will get a huge muzzle flash. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to burn all the powder in the barrel. a short barrel or slower burning powder (or combination thereof). The larger the flash, the more powder got burned in the air. ![]() any time you have a muzzle flash it tells you some of the powder is burning AFTER the bullet leaves the muzzle, which is quite normal with all guns and ammunition. very impressive!!!Īs for the gun and ammo. muzzle flash is a non-issue but the fact is, I kind of like a big ol' fire ball at night. I very rarely shoot at night or at indoor ranges so for me. I was taught this technique many years ago and found it works very well. You will find if you time your trigger pull and blinking your eye, you will never see a muzzle flash and you will still hit your target. when you train, practice "blinking your shooting eye". At a darker indoor range or at night, it can be disturbing because it temporality blinds you. In daylight, muzzle flash never bothers the shooter because day light is brighter than the flash. First, muzzle flash is way over rated and there are good ways to deal with it. Biartr, Yes, there are several things you can learn from muzzle flash.
