While technically correct, I'd say the burden of proof lay in the evidence being provided. Those type of frangible rounds are relatively hard to acquire due to low demand in larger caliber.
Personally, I dont use frangible rounds for small game. It's not practical IMO for hunting. Picking shot out of critters is tedious enough, I would imagine flechette style shrapnel to be even more so.
The only universal practical purpose for frangible rounds seems to be law enforcement and military application in high civilian density urban areas.
There is little evidence to work with, but I would say that the bullet that was recovered from Charlie's neck is evidence, and it does fit. Tyler Robinson's family exposed him to hunting from a young age, and probably engaged in varmint hunting. The Mauser Model 98 was a family heirloom passed down to him from his grandfather. The likelihood of him having access to this ammunition high. 110-grain varmint rounds are readily available and not difficult to acquire. These rounds are produced by major manufacturers such as Federal, Hornady, and Speer, and are sold under popular lines like Federal Varmint & Predator and Hornady V-Max. They are commonly stocked by online retailers, though availability can fluctuate based on demand. While not as ubiquitous as 5.56 NATO or .223 ammo, 110-grain varmint rounds are easily obtainable through both online and brick-and-mortar gun shops, particularly in regions with active hunting communities. While I wouldn't want to use such a round to hunt something like rabbits I see no issue with using it to hunt something like coyotes, which are common in Utah, which allows year-round hunting with no bag limit.
