Was outside today shhoting with some buddies. The weather conditions were extremely cool and brisk in the northeast with no clouds and the sun behind me.
I was shooting .223s with my Remington 700 and was actually able to see my own bullets traveling towards the target in the scope. My rig with AICS stock and muzzle brake is just over 17 pounds so it literally doesn't move when I fire.
I built it to this weight for the purpose of not losing sight picture due to recoil when firing so I could enjoy watching the clay pidgeons blow up on impact or the paper target getting a hole punched in it. However today the conditions must have been perfect because I could clearly see my shots flying thru the air, arc downwards and strike the target.
I'm not sure what this was, whether It was the vapor trail or the actual bullet. I have very good eyesight and don't wear glasses. In the past I have seen on multiple occasions .22lr bullets flying in mid air when the light was right but never anything as fast as .223.
Since my targets were small metal targets at different distances, it made it much easier since I literally walked my shots toward the target similar to what paintball players do.
Have any of you guys seen your rifle bullets fly thru the air?
