Testing out an Atomic .44 mag handload.  This is not my painted gun, but in fact a friend's 4 inch S&W 629.

.44mag 180gr JHP
32.0gr of win296

The Atomic .357 rounds that I use for competition are about 60-75% of that flash.

*edit* Just thought I'd add how I took those pictures.  Using a Canon Powershot A95.

Set the adjustable aperature time to 2 seconds, and enabled flash.  All the lights in the range were off.  Shined a flashlight on me so the camera could focus, then my cameraman activated the auto timer and stepped behind the firing line.  When the auto-timer went off, the camera opened the aperature and flashed once, illuminating me.  I fired the gun, and the camera caught and added the muzzle flash onto the total exposure.

Now that's some good photography.  Notice how the flash grew as the barrel warmed?

Oh is that why that happened?  I was more interested in how the second round sent the flash into the floor, but the bullet impacted about 5 feet up the backstop.  I know that I didn't yank the trigger hard enough to hit the floors.

Nice job getting those photos.  If you were shooting that at night, it would sure do a job on anyone's night vision that was in the area.
