I met someone who seems convinced that a black powder revolver leaves no identifiable ballistic markings. I am quite convinced he is incorrect but would like to be able to refer to expert advice. Anybody have the real skinny?

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

While 22WRF is technically correct, the smaller bearing surface of a ball will yield a small engraved surface upon which to perform ballistics. While it is theoretically possible to make a match, it is highly unlikely that enough of a match will be made to persuade a jury.
