.44 Muzzle Blast

[cjrowe]

Thought these pics of the muzzle blast from a .44 mag SBH were pretty cool. Heavy load of H110 under a 180 JHP. Clearly not the most efficient load possible!

Thats quite the fire ball.

Looks like a "Short barreled Bat 44".

But the little man's hand was like lightning,
The bat forty-four was the same,
The forty-four spoke and it sent lead and smoke,
And seventeen inches of flame

"Mr. Shorty" by Marty Robbins. One of my favorites.

Awesome! That's one good reason I love the .44 magnum.

 

[rugerfan100]

Very cool.

4" Taurus 44SS4 .44 mag with 180gr JHP on top of 31gr of H110. I was trying to recreate the 180gr UMC load, and came pretty close. I call it my "flashbang" load.

I love the "fire rings" you got. My shot is a still from a video, so the quality isn't so great.

Did you have some marshmallows handy?

 

[cjrowe]

Sam-
Very similar load. I had 30.0 grains vs your 31.0. My pics were stills from video capture too. My reaction times aren't fast enough to do it the old fashioned way!

Clearly not the most efficient load possible!

FANTASTIC pics but I'm not sure that they justify that conclusion. :wink:

 

[HarmonicaBill]

Cool! Makes we want to replace my departed 44's!

 

[bigboredad]

those pics are way cool. I love seeing the faces of the people at the range shooting their wonder nines when ones of those goes off

BRINGS THIS OLD SONG TO MIND !http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4ExW1Fx0-k

 

[Stoots]

Excellent fireball pics!

 

[Snake45]

"I shot right through a burning ring of fire..."

That's the song that came to me.

Good one! :wink:

Ya gotta luv a 44 mag!

 

[Sam Summey]

Aren't you afraid of setting all those dry leaves on fire and starting a forest fire?

 

[patcannon]

Ain't H110 fun? I get the cool ring of fire with my .357s too.
