Well, it could take some investigation. For example, before I go into
the field I always fire a round at a target to "dirty" the barrel and
recreate the barrel conditions as closely as possible to when I
sighted it it. I don't clean the inside of the barrel out until the
end of the season after that so at any point if someone looked down
the barrel their initial opinion would be that it had been fired.
Which of course it has but not necessarily that particular day.
