How a Popular Misconception Gave Away a Lie by the FBI

Think they would lend us C2766 for the weekend? Smile

I think that Frazier did a sulphur cast. Let me see if I can find an image of that.

Yep. CE 540.

The cast starts at the throat, right? I'm no expert, but I'm guessing thats not a progressive twist.

IIRC Frazier testified that the rifle was 7.35 rebored for 6.5mm. Does that help us in any way, assuming he's telling the truth?
