Carcano Rifles
#4
Before anyone questions the credentials of the person I quoted in the first post, it should be known that the author, Dave Emary, is the chief ballistics scientist at Hornady Mfg.; a major American sporting ammunition manufacturer and the first company to produce the correct .268" diameter bullets post WWII for the Carcano rifles.

Mr. Emary plainly believes the accuracy of Carcano rifles suffered shooting .264" diameter bullets, such as those made by the Western Cartridge Co., and that this situation was not rectified until Hornady began making the correct .268" diameter bullets for the Carcano in 2002.
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.
