Hi Chris
Okay, I just figured out where I mistakenly got the angle of 18° for the shot at z313 from. I'm trying to do too many things at once, and I confused data from the FBI's WCD 298 with the official data in the WCR.
As you said, the WC stated the angle of the third and fatal shot at z313 to be 15.3° (trajectory from window - 265 feet), while the FBI claimed a second shot hitting Connally only three feet closer to the TSBD, with a trajectory of 262 feet. With only three feet difference, the FBI claimed the angle of their 262 foot shot to be 18°, and so my mistake began.
I'm not sure I really trust any of the FBI evidence. Either they deliberately fed false data to the WC, or their agents had a phenomenal level of incompetence.

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.
