[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 937370, member: 35183"] How would one measure this ? A high speed video and "quantify" muzzle flash ? Typically if you need to run compressed loads AND the bore is black after each shot, the powder you are using might be a bit slow. It need not be a problem unless you let the rifle get too dirty. My 6.5x284 with H4350 seems to be sootier than anything else I have loaded, but good accuracy so far and I'm only part way through load development. Too much snowmelt and slush to either shoot at the range or on the farm right now. I don't like icy mud baths.... [/QUOTE]
