I will simply take the video at face value. He says he is
shooting a
modest load. We all believe him.

Modest is not a quantifier. Modest compared to, say, Buffalo Bore?

Modest compared to .357 velocities. Did you actually look at the
video
and listen to what he was saying?
He made a big deal about how versatile this type of gun was and that
you can shoot .38 class loads in it. It was after that when he called
these modest.
Then you have the cast bullets. That insures he is shooting a fairly
light load.
I agree with the others, the muzzle blast was very light and there
was
virtually zero muzzle flash. Maybe your eyes are closed when you
shoot
your .357 but there is quite a flash with a full load,
particularly in
a short barrel pistol.

I have tube enhancer on this machine and I can clip off some stills
from that video if you like. We can compare then to the other video
you posted to get an idea about what he is shooting.

The only way we would know what he was shooting is if he told us.

He did tell us, you just refuse to accept it.
I say again. shoot is a video of your rock steady hold and a picture
of the ammo, we can judge for ourselves.
Otherwise it is just a waste of the bandwidth to continue.

I didn't hear or see any numbers in that vid.

Why don't you just acknowledge that the video link you posted presumably
to show little muzzle flip of a .357 Magnum (with a 3-inch barrel) when
using a "proper grip" .... doesn't.

Several experienced (and some less experienced) have questioned what
type of rounds he was shooting ... the guy in the video calls them
"modest" rounds and, most importantly, *you* don't know what he was
shooting either.

It's ok to be wrong sometimes.

All we have is unquantified guesses, no hard date. Zip, zilch. It's
certainly okay to question what sorts of rounds he was shooting, but
there are no answers.

Then why did you offer it as an example of little muzzle flip when
shooting a .357 Magnum? You said the minimal flip was due to "proper
grip, stance, etc.". Now you admit no one (including you) knows what
the hell he was shooting in it.

We know one thing. They weren't full powered, factory .357 Magnum
rounds. If they were there would be no need for his comment about them
being "modest" rounds.
