Part 1 is a very thorough attack on the chain of custody of these bits of paper tying LHO to the gun. One minor quibble, it isn't steel-jacketed ammo, it's copper FMJ. Edit: you're referring to the Walker shooting, my bad.
I'll read part 2 later today.
Edit: IIRC according to the FBI there were only 2 dealers of WC ammo for the Carcano rifle in Dallas in 1963. One was John T. Masen. Masen also made custom ammo (non-FMJ) for the Carcano, The other dealer, whose name I cannot recall, had only standard ammo. That doesn't mean that the shooter could not have obtained WC Carcano ammo from some other source.
