I Learned Something Today

Went to the range today, practiced shooting with a flashlight for the first time. I was using my club's range, and I was the only one there, so I was able to turn off the lights and just use my flashlight. I was using reloads, some lead bullets with regular lube, and some from Precision Engineering, with a baked on moly lube. The lead bullets smoke quite a bit, of course, but with the lights on it was not an issue. However, when I turned off the lights, my flashlight reflected off the smoke so much that I was blind after just a couple shots. When I switched to the moly bullets, there was almost no smoke visible, even with the lights off. Moral of the story: for those who prefer wadcutters to hollow-points for SD, and carry a flashlight, you might consider using moly or plated bullets.
