I just had a friend give me about 500 rounds of 9mm hollow-point ammunition. He said they were loaded hot with Blue Dot powder (I dont remember exactly how much now and I'm at work so I can't look at the boxes),
Anyway, he said he was at a indoor range in low light and everytime he fired, the flash from his Beretta was so bad, he completly lost his night vision and his accusition of the target. This is an issue that had never really occured to me until he brought it up. Someone breaks into your house, you meet them in the dark, you fire....lights out.
Has anyone out there experienced this, and is there a better powder/load combo to use for HD at night when your most likely to need it?
BTW, he is a very experienced handloader and I trust him with my life otherwise I don't accept other peoples handloads unless I'm gonna pull the bullets.
