I wonder if the investigators on these sniper shootings have covered all the bases.They hold up all types of the usual black rifles AR-15,H&K etc. Has anyone thought it could be a sabot round? They used to be make them for various rifles.You can take a .223 bullet and load it in a 30-30 rifle like a Winchester.the sabot is a piece of plastic that will fit the bore tight .But it will peel off the bullet in flight.So a .223 bullet can be fired in a variety of different caliber rifles.The sabot goes down the barrel and there are no rifling marks on the bullet.
