Not in the brain pan. The 6.5mm (.264) Carcano projectiles can be pulled and loaded in the W-W .264 mag for 2900 fps. And Similarly into the 6.5 Rem. Mag, although that cartidge was not invented ‘til 1966. There is also the 6.5-06, a wildcat cartridge that could accomodate Carcano 6.5 projectiles at quite high velocities. The suspected culprits certainly had the means to load Carcano 6.5 projectiles into a number of cartridges. Makes sense iif you want to stick it all on a “patsy” to have all shooters firing the same projectile. I also believe that Oswald was one of several shooters.

All bullets, when analyzed , and all bullet fragments found at the scene, matched the box of bullets in the Sniper’s Perch to the same lead content, and the same impurity percentages. The three shooters you say met and had the same bullets?

I’m a 50 year veteran reloader, And I know that 6.5 bullets are used in a number of cartridges. I currently shoot a 6.5 Grendel and a .260 Remington. The 6.5 Swede was around at that time, along with the Japanese version. Even if there were more than one shooter, they probably wouldn’t have cared enough to pull bullets and try load them in other cartridges. One bullet was found, I believe on a hospital stretcher?
