Nobody ever said anything about this guy (or anyone else in Dallas) loading hollow point ammo into MC WCC cartridges, but if he had the gear to load a WCC cartridge with a soft-nose bullet, he could have made hollow point loads too.

There's our bullet dealer in the middle. John Thomas Masen.
Yes, in 1963 he was the sole proprietor of Masen's Gun Shop in Dallas, TX. He is still alive and the gun shop is still in business. I have politely made several attempts to communicate with Mr. Masen in the last few years but, sadly, he has shown no interest.
One of the questions I wished to ask Mr. Masen, perhaps the only question, is what brand of soft tipped bullets he was handloading into the WCC cartridges, as it would not be until 2004 that the first hunting bullets of the proper .268" diameter were made. The next question would be, was it necessary for him to re-size the WCC cartridge neck smaller, to .264", to accept the hunting bullets, or were they a snug fit? An answer from Mr. Masen on this matter could help to confirm the WCC cartridges were indeed loaded with .264" diameter bullets, as we have determined.
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.
