Default Vortex Hornady Bullet Cams. Cool.
Just saw these online and wonder if anyone has tried bullet cams?

Pretty expensive shooting but a neat idea.

I truly hope that you're not falling for this. You do know of course that a bullet spins at several thousand RPM as imparted by the rifling in order to stabilize it's flight. Surely, you already know this?.........right?

Maybe the camera swivels... Did you watch the video? $10/bullet isnt that much considering i shot 5 bullets last season and spent a couple grand on gas

Those are made for the new Savage rifles...the bullet remains on a straight level path to video...the barrel swivels at hi RPM.

Its immersed in liquid so it doesn't rotate with the bullet. In theory it should work....

Liquids have a coefficient of friction.

All the responses are great. Glad you guys are on the ball.

Everyone knows you need to use a smooth bore rifle to prevent a spinning bullet.
