Just wanted to share with you guys a video i recorded last week. We have a problem with feral pigeons, so i took the time to set up my spotting scope with a phoneskope adaptor and my iphone 6 and recorded this shot in slow mo. I used my Remington R15 with a 55gr Hornady Zmax bullet at about 2800fps. Enjoy!

Rock dove.  Non native species.

55 grain at only 2800 ft/sec?  Why so slow ?  WWB 45 grain clocks 3500 from my rifles.  But they are rifles with20" barrels

Safety...? Launching projectiles @ a 45 degree angle..? Lots of Nature.. I hope.

You're right, it was about a 45 degree angle. I would never usually consider this shot, but this was in an extremely remote canyon in Idaho. We snowmobiles into the general area then hiked up into this cliff face to call for predators. Looking for wolves, coyotes and mountain lions but decided to be opportunistic when we weren't able to call anything in. Nothing behind this bird but hundreds of miles of rough snow covered mountains.

Should have had some reverse replay action going there for great justice

If you missed where would the bullet have gone?

Pretty neat shot OP.

Surprised there wasnt more poof actually.

Nice crisp shot though.

What was the equipment used to get such a good quality zoom?

here in NV the wildlife regs list 2 birds that can be shot without a license, all year long, and dont have to be harvested for eating either, english sparrow and eurasian rock dove.
More or less varmint status.

50 gr v-max or z -max= poof   3850 from the swift
