Granted I do not have a $100,000 Phantom High Speed Video Camera!

My Edgertronic will have to do

so, this was definitely a learning curve for me. 62gr bullet muzzle velocity from my 16" barrel = 2,700 fps

High speed camera set at:

1600 ISO
1/4000 shutter speed
3,891 frames per second
336H x 144V
F Stops set out F8 and also F12

I was more concerned with catching the muzzle blast than the bullet itself....the end of the video shows the bullet in one frame.

 
Cool video.
Suggestion for next time. Get a large white background. Helps see the subject matter better.
Like a sheet of plywood painted white, or a white bed sheet stapled around it on the back.

Absolutely!

Initially, I was only intending to capture the muzzle blast, the reason why I turned down the F Stop = darker. Next time I'' use your advice. Thanks Man!
