A friend is a long time big game hunter on many continents. He often used a very good double rifle in 9.3x74R. Powerful cartridge.
He was hunting with a friend and they saw a bull elk on a ridge. His rangefinder showed he was about 1500 yards. The wind was calm. He sighted his scope to compensate for the drop. His friend was watching the elk with a powerful spotting scope.
He fired, and this is what I am part of asking, the friend saw the vapor trail of the round, clearing the elk just above his back. Could you see a vapor trail?
Anyhow he killed the elk with his next round.
Possibly true or?
