Hello Lagopus,

Thank you for your feedback.

I must confess all my knowledge for now comes from what has been reported in the papers.

There is a thread further down called "On plated shot..." , where nickel plated lead shot
is mentioned. Is this hardening technique used on .22 bullets? In any case from what
can be seen of the state of the victims house after the fire I hardly think there is anything
recoverable concerning boxes of ammo to compare.
