Guesswork on the caliber based on 'sound' is entirely unuseful- silencers exist and acoustics are mysterious at the best times. Edit: since they apparently found the rifle, the chambering should be listed- guesswork is now totally obsolete.

And concerning engraving bullets: that would supremely fuck with the ballistics. You could engrave the case if you felt so inclined, I guess...

Nobody carves bullets, but most people would consider the casing part of the bullet. Journalists are often imprecise, especially with things they're not familiar with.
