If the results of the ballistic forensics were “inconclusive” it doesn’t mean it was connected to the gun or not connected to the gun. Inconclusive results happen in 20% of the cases. But a recent study that i saw indicated a much higher probability that inconclusive is more likely to indicate it was fired from a different gun than the same gun. I’m sure expert testimony will be heard at the trial. However, this would definitely be a positive for the defense if the bullet was not determined to be a solid match (inconclusive).

Tyler Robinson wants preliminary hearing pushed back, citing substantial evidence to review
Excerpt:
In regard to firearm evidence, defense attorneys say an initial report from the ATF “indicates that the ATF was unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson. Although the state has not indicated an intent to produce this report at the preliminary hearing, the defense may very well decide to offer the testimony of the ATF firearm analyst as exculpatory evidence,” according to the motion.

The “science” of matching bullets to specific rifle or pistol barrels is nonsense and always has been. There is no scientific process that allows you to take a spent round that has been deformed and fragmented and then conclusively determine that it came from this or that specific firearm.

Unlike tool mark analysis, it doesn't require an intact bullet.
⁸The defense is trying to block that testing from happening.
That's the nuance of the real story.
