I tried out the reduced flash loads from Buffalo Bore in my 2.5 66, and they actually put off more flash than the other regular loads I was shooting that day.

Another thing that I noticed was that at five yards the gasses were blowing the target out of the holder, telling me that there was a lot of unspent gases which kind of surprised me since these loads were designed for short barreled .357's The same loads in my 6" were not blowing the target out of the holder.
