Thanks again, but again, that's not the spec sheet for the Carcano, so the conclusions you're drawing, if they come from the linked document, are baseless. And the file I previously posted was the one you linked in post 107.
*edit: typo.
Correct, that isn't the spec sheet for the cartridge which the Carcano fires. You are, however, missing the point and have lost track of why this spec sheet was linked to.
Bob said that any 6.5mm rifle with a .268" groove diameter was incapable of being accurate with a .264" bullet.
I said that I had such a rifle, in 6.5x54, and that such dimensions (bore and bullet) were correct for it. Bob called me a liar.
The CiP documents proove that a .264" bullet fired through a .268" barrel are the norn. If they are the norm it means they are acceptable from an accuracy perspective.
If the CiP say that a .264" bullet can be fired through a .268" barrel then Bob 's whole thesis collapses.
JL.
I have to agree with Bob that you are purposely providing disinformation. Bob has clearly been working to provide information about the Carcano that is in evidence as the Oswald rifle - not ANY 6.5 rifle as you say. The entire point of his research is to determine if the rifle in evidence and the ammunition it is supposed to have fired on 11/22/63 could have done what the combination is said to have done. (correct me if I'm wrong BOB)
As previously stated:
You DO NOT have a Carcano. Your comparison to your rifle therefore is not exact and has no value in this debate.
The CiP documents you provide, again, are not what you initially purported them to be and do NOT provide specs for a Carcano barrel. You have yet to provide anything supporting your thesis about the barrel other than a link to an unknown poster on a forum talking about the Carcano. Many people on the internet put forward many inaccurate theories and opinions.
Without real evidence specific to the weapon in question your rebuttal is smoke and mirrors.
