[QUOTE="Marine sniper, post: 203859, member: 4768"] The Berger bullet video has quite a few shots where you can see the vapor trial, like everyone else has said look above the target and look for a "disturbance" in the air. The disturbance looks a little like when you look down a black top road on a hot day, now imagine that mirage in a small circular pattern, just for an instant. One other poster mentioned being able to see the color of the bullets when the light is just right. When I was an instructor at Sniper School I saw a .308 bullet (the copper color anyway) very distinctly almost from the muzzle for about 70-80 yards before it hit the target at 100 yards. I was standing off to the side of the shooter about 30 yards away. I have been around at least 100,000 .308 rounds and never saw it again. I have been around a heck of a lot of .50 cal rounds and never saw any color off them either. [/QUOTE]
