An interesting look at a bullets flight path on a windy day.

Skip to :58 to see the actual shooting.


From the uploader -

"This is 20 tracer rounds of 556 from an AR15 on a windy, rainy day. The range was 450 yards. I wanted to record how much the wind would blow a bullet off target. The camera was zoomed to 12 power, so it is farther than it looks. The rifle scope was only 3.5 power. I was basically aiming for the tree right to the left of the target. And holding on about the 400m hash mark in the scope. I wasn't trying my hardest to hit the target, just demonstrate the wind drift. I tried these tracers in a different AR that is known to be very accurate, and these bullets shoot very wild, so I was lucky to hit the target as much as I did. I always wish I had brought more ammo!"

I need to look at this on my home computer instead of the phone. Said he wasn't shooting for accuracy, but it looked pretty good to me.
 
Nice shooting. Wonder what the tracer burnout is on a .223 tracer round? Seems kinda short.
