Evening fun

[slngsht]

When I went to snowshoe about 3 weeks ago, my friend brought some of his toys to try, since there is plenty of private property up there, shooting into a mountain side.

 

He wanted to record a night-time shot. Here is a single frame of his shot:

This is a S&W 500, with a 440 grain bullet. He said next time he'll bring some 700 grain bullets :willy:

If the bullet dose not get you the flash will blind you or burn you out of hiding...heck if I saw that in my direction it would be feet don't fail me now.

funny thing is that he says when you fire it, you don't see it at all. I guess at the moment of the event we close our eyes? He said even the Glock I was firing has a little flash, but I never saw it.

I regularly shoot my 44 mag with reduced loads, and I would love to try one of the S&W 500's for a few rounds, but lots of full house rounds with a 440 gr or 700gr bullets is masochistic.:willy:

 

If you are shooting just a few rounds with factory ammo, recoil from big bore handguns is not objectionable, but for lots of shooting reduced loads are beneficial.

 

Night shooting is fun, and I have noted the same thing, the shooter doesn't experience the full effect of the flash.
