First, brief range report .....
Despite my boy getting over a bit late into the pm ... we did get out to the range. He mainly wanted to check his 7mm mag, pre hunting .... but with ''formalities'' out the way .. we settled to some varied recreational shooting.
Had Contender .223's gettin in the black mostly, at 100 yds ... well satisfying. Some new .44 mag loads (18.8 H-110) with 300 grn XTP's were checked out ... they'll work for hunting! Enjoyed a few .454 shots, and plenty of 7.62x39 got put down range thru SKS and SAR1 ...... oh and .380, .45acp, .357 mag . etc!!
Ok ... still here? You know I ramble ....
Light went fast and I'd taken digi cam so ... thought at end, once almost cleared up and getting pretty dark ... let's get some muzzle flash pics. Tried several with the .44 mag (tho with my cast bullet 2400 loads) .... and was amazed at how minimal was the flash .... see pics. Just dull orange. Maybe the H-110 in the XTP loads would have worked better, but with the price of those bullets .... hell no! Tried CZ-52 also .... but hard to register that flash very well.
BUT ... and here we go ... the ''piéce de resistance'' ...... worth the wait ... honest!! The .454 Raging Lunatic .. oh man, did that ever light things up ..... just had to share that pic!! Hornady ammo .... not sure but i think they must fuel that baby with ANFO ... maybe some kerosine added too .... enjoy.
.44 mag running on 2400 ......
==================================

And .... the Raging Lunatic .......... just love it .... lot of wasted gas tho methinks!!!!!
