Night photos of muzzle flash from my .357 Magnum

Great job capturing the muzzle flash and the comparisons!

Many years ago, my father wrote a book called "Handgun Muzzle Flash Tests: How Police Cartridges Compare" for Paladin Press. Out of print, but probably still available online or at gun shows. His premise was that the bright muzzle flash may hinder vision or illuminate officers at night. He compared many loads in many calibers. Much the same idea as your tests.

Keep up your tests. It would be interesting to see if current police loads still have a bright flash....And it might actually be fun....

If your interested I can send you 38spl +P+ Federal and Winchester Treasury Load

Wow. Thank you for the offer. If it's OK with you, I'd shoot them in a 4" K-frame or 4" L-Frame in order to get some photos for you.

:)

And if I can borrow my FIL's steel snub I would be able to get snubbie pics.
 
I'm very late to this Nitesite.
Thanks for all your time and effort on this!
I admire your photographic as well as computer skills!
