I note the words “ring abrasion” at the site of entrance wound. Wouldn’t that indicate a direct contact, heavy pressure, with gun at time of firing?
Also noted the lead core of bullet and two jacket fragments internally.
Sounds like a very thorough autopsy.
Thanks, for your posting of that data.

No. Ring abrasion is an indicator of the direction of entry (straight on, perpendicular to the skin surface). Abrasion is produced by the bullet, and will appear on a long range shot too.
