Yesterday I was firing next to a fellow firing cast rounds, both of us
firing at a 100m target.  I could see the sun shining on his rounds as
they went to the target.  Got distracting after a while.

Never noticed it before.  Must be because I'd never been to the rifle
range at that time of day/year to see the sun reflect before.
