    Count me in for 12g slug!!! Holy crap!!!

    Must have been a pretty short barrel. I can't say I've seen that big a fireball from any of mine.

    Interesting that there is considerable variation in the amount of smoke/combustion product that exits the muzzle ahead of the bullet and the bullet then has to pass through that swirling cloud. It would be interesting to do a study of the effect of cloud variations caused by differences in load, powder type, etc. on accuracy.

    I have done accuracy tests on a few rifles and found that quite often the addition of a muffler reduces group size. Is this because recoil is reduced, muzzle weight is increased, shooter comfort is increased, or the muzzle gasses are controlled???

    So far the most noticeable improvement has been with a fairly lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor and a .308 carbine(known to be a snorty recoiling gun).

    Interesting that in a couple videos there is a ring of flame that exits the muzzle ahead of the bullet. Bullet seated too far back from the rifling?

    That happens with most guns/ammo. There's usually a very short interval between powder ignition and bullet entering the 'leade'/throat of the bore that allows this bit of powder gas to squirt past the bullet. Some older designs actually seated the bullet into the throat preventing this.
