The 6 from the Portland cell were arrested with a kit of ammo that included 1 piece of 223 brass and hundreds of larger caliber rounds.

Why just 1 round? That seems pointless at first glance.

OTOH, there may well be a good explanation: it could mean that they were training hard with .223 weapons, and had shot up their store of that ammo. It's easy enough to buy more -- but perhaps they hadn't gotten around to it.

Not one round.... one piece of brass. No 223 rounds whatsoever...just larger rounds.
