    (without a doubt... the biggest improvement to me made for the OP is in a powder change.)

    I changed from H335 after taking my loads to a night shoot. The only way to shoot two fast rounds on a target was to hammer pair them (or shoot two round off of one sight picture), because after taking one shot--you couldn't see the target, and that was from a 16" barrel!

    I've posted this before... but Here's a taste of H335's potential.

    I can guarantee good results with 748, but I don't remember TAC being a flash powder either. 748 is marketed as a low temp burn powder, and that seems to translate into low flash.

    What about CFE powder? It has some flash suppressant in it, right?

    I run the KX3 on my SBR and it has functioned for 3 or 4 years now without a hic-up or too big of a muzzle flash. Then I ran some XM193 through it and found that big SBR muzzle flash everybody was talking about. I don't reload, so I never thought of powder, but in most loads the flaming pig does a good job. It directs much of the fierce blast downrange as well. People still look, but no more so than with my M44 Mosin.
    You know what I like best about most people?

    I only shot 1 lb of CFE, and probably none in low light. But I'd guess that any of the suggested options would be good.

    Roger. I have a bud who uses CFE and it is a really clean shooting powder, at least in my barrels, for whatever that's worth.
