Bob, I'm not trying to be annoying but how does 6.7mm = 6.5mm? Are you saying the wider Shoenauer bullet was loosely labeled 6.5?
Edit: Nevermind. I went back and read the fine difference between the 264 and 268 bullet.
Don't feel bad, Albert. I read articles on the Internet all the time written by gun "experts" who describe the "bore diameter" of a Carcano rifle as being .268" (6.8 mm), when, in reality, the bore diameter of a Carcano is .256" (6.5 mm). It's amazing how many people like to throw the terms "bore diameter" and "groove diameter" around, and not have a clue what the difference is between the two.
Mr. HILL. The right rear portion of his head was missing. It was lying in the rear seat of the car. His brain was exposed. There was blood and bits of brain all over the entire rear portion of the car. Mrs. Kennedy was completely covered with blood. There was so much blood you could not tell if there had been any other wound or not, except for the one large gaping wound in the right rear portion of the head.
