I ask because half of the rifling marks on the magic bullet appear to have a spin more consistent with the carbine. There is also some very good research indicating that the gun "Hidell" ordered from Kleins', and wa subsequently delivered, was a "39 inch M-C carbine", not a "41 inch M-C short rifle".
Yes, every Carcano, be it a long rifle, short rifle or carbine, used the same 6.5x52mm cartridge. Even the 7.35mm rifles used this cartridge; the only difference being the neck of the casing opened up to accept the wider bullet.
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.
