Lame.
He would know well enough Blakeley(sic) was talking about HIS bullet by any reference that was given
OK, let's assume that Blakey was talking about the Walker bullet and they showed the already well established CE 573, and Walker remembered another bullet, what would Walker complain about and how would he structure his letter to get his point across??
1) CE 573 is already mutilated so why would an angry Walker complain about that? Wouldn't he elaborate and say, my bullet was more/less mutilated?
2) If Walker remembered a steel FMJ, why wasn't this mentioned, because that is the biggest differentiator and would surely get attention.
3) Why even mention an "unfired bullet", how does that help Walker's argument?
Therefore my original analysis is the only logical explanation, Blakey showed CE 399 and narcissistic Walker thought it was his bullet.
