Now, it is very interesting to note by reference to the GENERAL EXAMINATION RECORDS for each of the 25 Eley cartridge cases that the length and dimensions of them are not mentioned at all. It should be noted, that Eley produced or manufactured different types of .22 rim fire ammunition back in 1984, including 29 grain, 35 grain, 37.5 grain and 40 grain ammunition. How very odd, that Fletcher makes no reference at all to the type of bullets any of these 25 cartridge cases were part of, nor does he mention the grain weight of each when the casings had been part of a full manufacturers round?
It is not sufficient just to refer to these 25 cartridge cases as simply 'Eley' make, since different types of cartridge cases were manufactured by different .22 ammunition manufacturers, including Eley...
Different weighted .22 bullets had cartridge cases of different size and dimensions, and I suggest that the absence of any measurements alongside each of these 25 cartridge cases, significantly weakens the claim that all of them, individually or collectively refer to one type of the same Eley batch. On the contrary, absence of such key measurements depicting the size and dimension of these 25 Eley cartridge cases substantially weakens the argument that they formed part of the same type of Eley .22 ammunition...
