Does this photo show “gas blow by”?

I’m with Taylor the fire is coming out of the touch hole, with only a light orange haze coming from the barrel. I’d be a lot more concerned about the touch hole size, than I would be about “blowby”.

The Father primed the pan and probably used too much, as the touch hole is a new Chambers white lightning drill at 0.065”.

I doubted if you have a very fast ignition on your gun the way they should be. The bullet is gone from the barrel before the flash in the pan is halfway through it ignition and this pan looks like it is well into that so the Bullet is probably gone at this point.

That is what I thought as well, Darrin - but am surprised there is such a small amount of flame at the muzzle - much more from the vent. That could be blow-by - or not. If not and is actual muzzle flash from behind the ball, it must have been a tiny charge and it seems most of it came out the vent. At that stage of vent blow, I would have expected the ball to be well gone, but see none of the normal bright muzzle sparks.
All this shows quite well on my monitor.  My old one, a much smaller 19" monitor would not show what I am referring to, very well.   As Dennis noted, enlarging the picture makes it easier to see.
Good to see you back on the board, Dennis.
