Competitive long range spotters have probably seen this. But cool to catch it on video.

It looks like two projectiles flying thru the air. Kind of like a double tap.

It looks like the bow wave of the bullet is striking the water just before the bullet arrives.

I am going to say the first projectile is the Amax's ballistic tip.
There are 2 splashes, a light splash then a heavier splash when the bullet impacts behind the tip.
I have shot thousands of A-maxs, have never heard of or seen that reaction before.
Cool vid.

I see it now. It's the shock wave parting the water before the bullet hits it's mark!

Is the 2nd bullet a reflection from the water?

That’s what I thought but I don’t think that is what he wants us to see.
He tell us to focus on the point of impact. I think I see a slight splash just before the bullet hits the board.

It appears the shock wave is reflecting off the water's surface as the bullet approached the target.

I have no idea. But I'm willing to wager that's a Banana Republic Sweater. I have one just like it - got to be at least 15 years old.

I don’t understand what 6.5mm has to do with the phenomenon?
You shoot 6.5 caliber but whatever the explanation may be, would it not apply to external ballistics is near all calibers given the same conditions ?

He doesn't state it's a 6.5 phenomenon, it's just the title of the video!

So what is it? (The bullet, not the sweater)
Science This 200 Yard Shot Anomaly - Javman - 02-28-2019
So what's the science on this vid after all?
Science This 200 Yard Shot Anomaly - Javman - 03-03-2019
So I'm guessing we'll never know the correct answer to this?

Found a Smarter Every Day video that looks at the shock wave generated. My money is on the shock wave hitting the water.

It's this

(and not to be a party pooper but shooting over water is not safe, unless your range fan is EXTREMELY wide and the backstop and beyond is EXTREMELY long and clear. Ricochets over water can a heck of a lot farther than people think)

I have sent thousands of rounds downrange as a F class shooter and never seen that effect over water but in the right conditions I have seen vapor trails leading into the target

LOL, shooting OVER water is perfectly safe. It is the shooting INTO water where ricochets are apt occur. That alone is not potentially unsafe. Ricochets occur off of the ground can travel a heck of a lot farther than people think also.
