Because of my new found love of long range shooting...
It takes 2.07 seconds for a standard 7.62x51mm BTFMJ round to travel one thousand metres.
It takes another 2.93 seconds for the sound of the rounds impact to reach the shooter (steel plates).
I was stunned when I first experienced this. Five seconds between firing and hearing the round's impact on the target.
Like magic!
