Seeing .22 bullets in the air
This video details the unusual phenomenon of observing .22LR bullets in flight during a rimfire match. The shooter, using high-magnification scopes on a CZ 457 rifle with Federal Champion 40-grain ammo, captured footage showing a brief white dot, interpreted as the bullet, just before impact. The explanation suggests air distortion and mirage effects, typically seen with larger caliber bullets, are visible due to the high magnification and specific lighting conditions.
