I never accepted JFK was killed by a single war surplus full metal jacket bullet fired from a bolt action WW I vintage Italian carbine. Surely an assassin would have chosen a better rifle and would not have been satisfied with decades-old military ammunition instead of a handload texted at a range.

Any thoughts?

Well, All bullets at the sniper’s nest on the 6th floor, all bullets fragments found and the “Pristine “ bullet were all tested. They came from the same production lot. They all had the same lead content, and well as all the other impurities were at the same percentages.

In 1963, I had just started my lifelong firearms hobby, and lots of us hunted deer and other game with surplus ammunition. It would still kill animals, you just had to place the bullet in the right spot. Most military rifles of the day (my first was a 1917 US Enfield) were entirely up to the accuracy standards that Oswald required. And, his rifle was equipped with a scope, so was probably more precisely zeroed for the range he anticipated using it. His feat was easily doable by even a moderately skilled rifleman.
