[QUOTE="User4302021, post: 1485152, member: 105322"] That is what he said in the video...so it must be true. After all, I heard it on the internet. Funny thing about ballistics, it involves math. The whole sequence on the video from firing to the returning "clang" is just under 4 seconds. But given that the average speed of sound is 1,125 fps, that means the return sound from 1,250 is yards is 3.3 seconds alone. A 6.5 140 grain ELD @ 2750 fps has a flight time of right at 2 seconds to 1,250 yards. 3.3 seconds + 2 seconds = 5.3 seconds. That math doesn't add up. [/QUOTE]
