Thank you for the pictures Bob. It doesn't look necessary to crimp a cartridge to use a sabot. Ok, now what about the idea that brass cartridges can "rust"?
Also, does anyone recall what caliber the "DalTex Specimen" was? The follow up question to that is, whether you could use a sabot round to imitate a 6.5 mm Carcano from a gun of that caliber, and if so, would a sabot for that conversion require a crimped casing (presumably because a readily available sabot from x caliber to 6.5 mm would still be too small?
All those things would be necessary in order to make sense of the DalTex specimen. Then you'd have to answer the question why would a shooter making a plan ahead of time select a type of gun whose ammo had to be jerry-rigged past a "normal" sabot arrangement to frame Oswald?
