Albert Doyle Wrote:I don't think Oswald shot any bullets that day. However can it be safely said that the C2766 carbine allegedly used by Oswald that day had a .268 groove diameter? And that the Western Cartridge ammunition alleged to have been used that day was definitely .264? If so then we would safely be within the inaccuracy claims by Mr Emary despite any discrepancies over which Mannlichers had a .268 groove diameter and which ones didn't.
If C2766 had a groove diameter larger than .268", it could only be for one or more of the following reasons:
1. The barrel was worn from excessive use.
2. The barrel was corroded or rusted from improper storage in a damp environment.
3. The barrel was mis-manufactured.
A groove diameter greater than .268" in a Carcano rifle would only make the problem worse.
The Western Cartridge Co. bullets have been measured by reliable (non-disinfo agent) sources and found to be .264" in diameter.
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.
