i mean, hornaday ammunition is sold throughout the country. you can get it anywhere. the fact that you have the same caliber along with the other details like a similar late model vehicle tells me that they have reason for an association, and i guess moving forward, they are going to look to get the cartridge cases from the homicide in colorado to the same location with the cartridge cases recovered from the car, and a forensic examiner will have to put them under a comparison microscope, compare the individual characteristics and render an opinion whether or not they were fired from the same gun. >> is it as simple as that, having an expert put them under a microscope? i've seen when a gun is fired it leaves a unique imprint on the shell casings. >> most guns are capable of leaving individual characteristics on fired cartridge casings and bullets and if this gun did in fact do that, it shouldn't be very difficult for a forensic examiner to determine that. >> how long would that take? once they got the casings together? >> it could take anywhere from five minutes to 3
