Disquieting to say the least. A spent 7.62 x whatever cartridge does not look like a spent 5.56.

Well, I guess people can start spinning elaborate "sabot" theories ...

Note to anyone so tempted: if the recovered bullets have striations, best to find another theory.

How do you know they didn't fire it once first into a bullet trap to produce striations, and THEN use it in a sabot? That would be fiendishly clever! </sarcasm>

Ballistic fingerprinting my Aunt.

True, but we don't know if they do or don't.
