Specialty ammo is easier to track. Last I heard, Masen (sole provider of speciality ammo for the MC in the Dallas area in the 1960's) is still alive, and possibly subject to prosecution.
PS: the early evidence and law enforcement conclusions in the case was that the first two shots were too close together to be fired by 1 shooter with a bolt action rifle (as per Epstein in Inquest).
Drew, that's based on watching the Z-film. I'm referring to the earwitnesses in Dealey Plaza that day.
As far as I'm concerned, Oswald can be excluded as a shooter for numerous reasons that have nothing to do with whether a Carcano was used or not.
