Dispose of the left over bullets and paper before the shoot where berms are mined. Dump the brass separately far away from the bolt in a range box. Swap the bolt head out dispose of it in a corrosive environment. Same for any contact with cases, primers or the bullet. Dry wrap in tight nitrile gloves from the Drs office. Cast 1# of one time alloy with isolated alternative source metal bullets. It would be hard to match this boolit to any bore. Higher velocity breaks through the patch. Those two bottom boolits were of different hardness but same load, hence the fill out of the waist in the lower one. The top photo shows boolit core to bore contact and the bottom photo shows only impressions. The patch disappears from between the lands and the jacket. I once paper patched a jacketed bullet and fired it and the rifling land impressions were there but then the bullet was larger than bore diameter. All I'd have to do then is make sure there is no evidence of me doing paper patching. Then again, I do have a particular patched boolit that when fired in a particular gun, stays on right to the target so that boolit will have no core to bore contact at all. All of which would be moot since they would have to first catch me to even start testing my gun. So the investigators would need to do is fire an identical patched boolit in my gun at the same velocity and they would have me. But does the bore leave a fingerprint on a patched boolit? Mine do.
