We were shooting today and one of the butts ended up being in just the right place. Tom was shooting my new 4" 22/45 and I saw a silver trace about 1/2 way to the target. Then it happened again and again. We swapped places and he got to see the same trace as I did. The observer had to be right behind the shooter's left shoulder but the bullet was visible 3 of 5 shots.
This is the first time I've seen this in the half century I've been shooting. I've seen the contrail of high velocity bullets and the shot cluster from a shotgun but this is the first 22 lr trace.
We tried other ammo but only the uncoated lead was visible.
