The first characteristics are size, shape and weight of the bullet, since that will direct attention towards a given group of firearms- a bullet is about .357 inches in diameter we know was NOT fired from a .22 or a .45. Next are the marks engraved on the surface of the bullet by the rifling of the gun. Those marks, known as striations, can help narrow our search for the type of gun. The number of marks, and the direction and rate of twist are key. Finally the striations have microscopic marks. Those can be matched to the only gun that will produce identical striations.
