Flame Fest Entries
Here's a couple of entries for Flash Fest I also thought this shot was pretty cool, it was fairly dark when it was taken but you can see the last of the flame and what appears to be the bullet just to...

Well well well... That flame war (sorry, but I must comment on the ACTUAL thread purpose har har har) was extraordinary. My grandfather has (he passed away 5 years ago, so I guess my dad has now) a...

Taken last monday at the Otago Pistol club NZ. DE 44 with reloads of 33 gr H110 behind a 180 gr Speer projectile.
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Betcha,Nice pics man, that is some SERIOUS "flash candy". Now we need someone to do that with a 357 and H110. BTW, 33 grains is a LOT! Thanks for bringing that thread back up top. I had not looked at...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Yeah, 33 gr H110 is a compressed load and requires the use of a 180 gr projectile. I figured that the 33 gr may result in a larger flash than my usual 25 fr H110 and 240 gr projectile.It is a pity...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Whoa, thats some serious loads for the 44. The max. recommended load for H110 in the 50 is 32.6gr.Looks like we have a new leader Better rework some of my reloads Cheers,Ozzie.

Do not do anything too crazy. But if you do....get video of it and post it here so we can all watch you blow up!!! IMHO, the Ozzie "gas canister" video was the most "on the edge" event that I had seen...

WOW, I just got to thinking, what might happen to someone next to and forward of the barrel? I'm sure I've seen plenty of cases in movies where this happened, though I can't think of one at the...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
I am glad you approve . 33 gr is a very maximum load, but safe all the same. At any rate simply no more powder will fit into the case if you are to have a chance of fitting the projectile in there...

Hey Stodgman,I think I can top the gas cannister vid www.geocities.com/guntotingozzie/boom.mpg Cheers,Ozzie.

Great photo, one question - how do you produce such a ripping flame when the hammer is still in the cocked position? At least it looks that way in two of the pics. I feel like this is one that when...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Thats a valid question blu. The way the photos were taken was to set the camera so that the flash would go off and the shutter would open simultaneously for a duration of around 2-8 seconds depending...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
That is a very good method of getting what appear to be very high quality pictures. Both Ozzie and myself have been using video to capture the events and then cut frames out to make still pics of the...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Well, there is no bluring because the photographic flash lasts only an instant to record the image of the DE and shooter and the muzzle flash is also very short and provides only a fraction of the...
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Here are a few more scans. Notice the ones where no photographic flash was used. The muzzle flash does provide some lighting

You know, if you turn those images on their side, doesn't it look kind of like an atomic blast?
View ArticleRe: Flame Fest Entries
Lol, I had never thought of it like that but it is perhaps an appropriate analogy. Of course for a real mushroom cloud I would really have to load up those 44 magnum rounds if the necessary convection...
