If this information is accurate it would disprove the claim that the Carcano was the only rifle with a .268 groove diameter.
Michael, I'm not sure if you're following the arguments.

Read the thread "Carcano Rifles". You will have a much better understanding of what is going on. The article I quoted is written by Dave Emary, who is the Chief Ballistic Scientist at Hornady Mfg. As the article reveals, Mr. Emary feels strongly that the accuracy of the Carcano rifles suffered shooting bullets that were .264" in diameter, such as those made by the Western Cartridge Company, and the situation was not rectified until Hornady began making .268" diameter bullets (.2675", to be precise) in 2002.
I know that everyone on these forums continually demands that our sources be qualified or certified or licenced. If the chief ballistic scientist of a major ammunition manufacturing company does not qualify in your eyes, I don't know what else I can do.
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.
