Re: Lets see that MUZZLE BLAST...................

Hah! That's hilarious!

I got a couple of screen captures from a video I posted up in another thread. You only get to see the very front/bottom of the flash, but you get the idea as to the size. I'll probably get some more video tonight sometime that will yield better results.

The best trick I've found is to use the video mode at its highest frame rate, then slo-mo it later to see what you've got. Even at 30fps, I was surprised how many shots didn't show any flash, or just showed a tiny bit. OTOH, I didn't manage to get any at all off my M44 in full sun, so next time I'll try for an evening session with some near-max loads of something slow burning.

Anybody got any pet loads for 7.62x54R with 123gr bullets? I've got IMR4350, Win760, and H4831SC sitting here, and might be picking up something different soon.
Yup, I ran it at high framerate and checked frame-by-frame afterwards. It looked like I would have had at least a few show up, had it not been for the overbearing sunlight..

Even more than the crazy fireballs you get from Mosin-Nagant rifles? Folks have videos of them posted all over YouTube. Here's a few examples:
