Several bullets were too heavy to have been Eley .22 LR hollow point bullets?

The seven heavy bullets:-

(1) should read (DRH/35), not DRH/15...
(2) DRH/35
(3) PV/2
(13) PV/23
(14) PV/24
(23) DRH/5
(24) DRH/9
(25) DRH/36

Good question. Should one of the DRH/35's actually be DRH/15?

An Eley .22lr hollow point bullet weighs 2.43 grams, so only one is heavier at 2.44 grams.

Heavier by 0.01 grams.

Just spending 30 seconds doing a quick search on google it seems the weights can vary, could that be the reason for the 0.01 gram difference?

Granted this refers to a different Eley bullet type:

First was the Eley Subs Xtra Plus, which has a newer, lighter wax lubricant covering. The bullet weighs 40.2 grains of hollowpoint design. This is intended to give superior stopping power. Its actual weight was 40.61 grains and it produced a velocity of 1,032fps and 95.1ft/lb.

Yes i was googleing, and saw a few weights. Some bullets i'm guessing would fragment, and would it be possible for some to gain weight through collecting body matter?

Were the specifications the same in 1985? For whatever reason, bullets recorded as weighing about 2.43g and about 2.1g were described as "whole".

That's a good point Reader. I don't know.
