Makes clear how adjacent chambers can fire when using cartridge-less loads like in a cap and ball pistol...look at all the flame and flash going all over and around...!

Re: Fascinating photography
It looks like there was a lot of unburned powder in there too.

Re: Fascinating photography
Could it be 296 for propellant in shot No. 1, and 2400 in No. 2?
Re: Fascinating photography
Thanks Scott, that was enjoyable. I was watching the gas reigniting long after the bullet was out of the frame.

Re: Fascinating photography
I remember seeing hi-speed film of the early S&W 10xx series autoloaders, the film showed every part in movement. The slide release bounced around, safety shimmied up and down, the slide recoiling backwards stuttered and stammered- quite disheartening to see how roughly it operated.

Probably shouldn't but I'm assuming adjacent chambers were empty.Scott Tschirhart wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 1:13 pmNow I know how all that carbon gets on the recoil shield
I'm been shooting a .36 cal 1851 in cowboy actions shooting since 1987... not all the time, but quite a few monthly matches and most every big match I attend, I've charged all six chambers each and every time. When I go to the loading table I only cap five... as per the rules... I don't grease the front of the ball, I simply drop the powder, put in a lubed wad, and make sure my balls have a ring of lead shaved off when loading them... In all them years I've never experienced a chain fire. I might just be lucky, or more likely, chain fires generally occur from ill-fitting balls and the front of the cylinder.

Re: Fascinating photography
Just a thought. The balls which are tight enough to shave a ring of lead are probably not going to let much of anything get past without it being more than a hundredth of a second of flame. That flame was gone pretty quickly.

Re: Fascinating photography
Griff, that was a nice scenario you shot. Are you running FFFg in that Colt Navy?
