You compare the rifling marks on the bullet to the rifling in the barrel. You can also compare the firing pin mark on the primer to the firing pin on the gun.
Does a 22 caliber bullet leave striation marks?
When a bullet is fired through a rifled barrel, the lands and grooves of the rifling make marks on the bullet. These marks are called striations, and can be used to match a bullet to the gun that fired it. That DOES include .22 caliber bullets. However, .22LR ammo has a soft lead bullet- if it strikes a hard surface, it may be so badly damaged that the striations are obliterated.
How do they do rifling on match grade barrels?
The barrel is bored, and rifled with a cutter or broach. Match barrels are frequently lapped (polished) with a lead lapper coated with very fine abrasive. This lapping polishes out tool marks left by the rifling process, and insures uniform diameter of the bore.
What are the meaning of identifying marks in tagalog?

Where can you locate stripping marks on fired bullet?
The stripes of the lands and grooves will be on the sides of the bullet. If the bullet is "stripping" through the rifling of the gun, the striations (proper name for the rifling marks) will be smeared.
How are bullet striations created?
Where a bullet is pushed through the barrel of a rifled firearm, spiralgrooves cut into the inside of the barrel (rifling) cause the bullet to spin. This provides for better accuracy- and at the same time, makes marks (striations) on the bullet. A shotgun does not have those grooves, and does not produce striations on the projectile.
What are striations how are they produced and how are they useful for comparing bullets?
When a bullet is pushed through a rifled barrel, the rifling (lines cut into the inside of the barrel in a spiral) makes scratch marks on the bullet. No two guns make the exact same scratches. It is possible to examine the scratch marks, on two bullets and see if they could have been fired from the same gun. This uses a device called a comparison microscope.
Do a .38 special revolver have bullets marks after it left the barrel?

How does ballistics help police solve crimes?
Rifling marks, the marks etched into a bullet as it travels through a gun's barrel, are to a gun as fingerprints are to a person. To see if a fired round came from a particular gun, the gun is test fired into a pool of water (to stop the bullet without changing its shape) then the marks on the test fired bullet and the bullet in question are compared. Knowing the trajectory of a bullet points you in the direction of its origination. There are also some clues that will help you determine from how far a shot was fired, such as approximate speed on impact and the presence of burnt gunpowder.
