"...fireball shows..." A what?

I was wondering as well!

I'm guessing he wants a huge muzzle flash?

Blue dot in the 9mm is good for a flash. If you can find any that hasn't gone bad--Ammomart 44 Powder would do for most of the rifles--use imr 3031 data for it.

Do you want the flash for show purposes only? Are you trying to put on some sort of demonstration? If for show only is your intendeed purpose, don't use bullets. Seal off the ctg case with a cotton ball and fill the case with a very slow powder. No real recoil, losts of noise and pyrotechnics. If you want lots of smoke as well add a little black powder.

Pistols -

Look up "power pistol" for some good flash in 9mm, 40S&W, 10mm

For the Magnums..... 2400 or H110

My personal choice for my 6" GP100 357Mag (Some flash and what looks to be a blue jet out of the cylinder gap) good for some 1500 fps fun and yet manageable

Winchester Nickle Cases
Fed Small Pistol Magnum Primers
Hornady 125Gr XTP
7.8gr Universal (Over max .2 grains)

Just because it's safe in mine don't make it safe in yours... load responsibly and I take no credit for your results

You can get powdered aluminum at a high end paint store. A pinch of that in the case and you will get all the flash you can deal with.
