[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 162720, member: 2852"] I was out shooting last night and it was particularly dark outside and I noticed something like this. I was shooting a 300 ultra mag with RL25 with 180 grain bullets and 200 grain bullets. With similiar charge weights, the 180 grain bullets dang near blinded me with muzzle flash. It was super bright, and went far enought out to the sides to blind my non-shooting eye as well. Then the 200 grain bullets hardly had a spark behind them. Shows pretty well in my mind that the 180 grain bullets were either too light, or the powder was too slow burning or both. In other words, the expansion ratio was much too low with the 180's.
