I also use a ASE SL5i moderator and can see the muzzle flash under NV.

With 48 grains of a slower powder, resulting in a MV of 3500, I am guessing the load is lower pressure and there will be more unburnt powder coming out of the muzzle than with my load.

Are you seeing this flash with your mod and under your NV?
Thanks for this, this is some very good information that i wished id known about before buying the tub of Ramshot hunter, i suppose the trouble is its on the banned list isnt it ?.
At the moment i havent shot it with the n/v but i suspect you will be right about muzzle flash.

What length is your barrel to get 4025fps with 45.5 gn of H4895 with 55g bt's -------might see if i can get hold of some H4895.
What would be the suggested gn of H4895 for the Hornady 58g v-max.

Thanks Dave (warbucks)
