[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 544873, member: 15748"] Dave, Running this combination on QuickLoad shows a very poor percentage of the powder being burned with the 53 grain/N150 combination, probably around 90%, depending on a number of factors. This, incidentally doesn't equate to muzzle flash, as that's almost never actually [U]unburned[/U] powder that you're seeing. Muzzle flash is most often caused by a re-ignition of the powder [U]gases [/U]as they exit the muzzle. Even thought the powder is completely burned, the powder gases themselves remain combustable. Upon exiting the muzzle, the sudden addition of a new source of oxygen creates what amounts to a secondary explosion, which we see and hear as excessive muzzle flash. Not unburned powder at all, in most cases. [/QUOTE]
