Just another fairy tale from Mr. Frazier to add to his collection. I've dropped lots of empty casings on a wood floor and not one of them came out looking like CE 543.
It may have hit something else first. A dent like that on fired brass is not uncommon, especially on relatively think brass such as the type used on 6.5mm ammo.

Mr. McAdams...errr...Lewis
Please explain to all of us exactly how a cartridge case could be dented in this fashion, especially one as relatively "think" as the Carcano.
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.
