"..Investigators also found a .20-caliber round at the scene, and Yantis’ .204-caliber rifle had an empty shell casing in the chamber. An FBI ballistics expert who tested the .20-caliber round could not conclusively establish that the bullet came from Yantis’ rifle. Blood on the round was tested and found to be that of Yantis, the report said.."

Interesting story I remember from a while back. Funny thing tho'. The only .204 caliber cartridges I know of in current use, both SAAMI and wildcat, are considered very high velocity varmint cartridges. Designed for explosive impact on varmints with minimal recoil. A strange choice for putting down a bull. As a general rule ya wouldn't find much of a "round" left at the distances described no matter what it hit. Mebbe a jacket base. Just seems a bit strange. But then that whole thing smells.

“It is not enough to show that the officer made a mistake, acted negligently, acted by accident or even exercised bad judgment,” the news release said.

You can bet your azz that any one of those would be enough to crucify you though.
