Don’t you remember the magic bullet, the one that supposedly went thru Kennedy, Connally, and was found pristine condition on the floor. I cite that to counter the ridiculous claim that hunting rounds don’t exit soft tissue. Wow, just wow.


From what I recall, Oswald was not claimed to use a .30-06, but a 6.5 carcano round.

The bullet was not an expanding bullet, but a full metal jacket bullet, typical for military (and surplus) ammunition of the time.

The bullet was not in “pristine” condition but had rifling marks and was a bit “bent”.

But that is just from memory, and memory is fallible.

Some hunting rounds do not exit soft tissue. There are too many variable to consider to say one would or would not have done so in this particular case.

How much soft tissue? What type of bullet, by name and brand? What cartridge with what load? There are thousands of combinations possible.

You are probably the only person in the world who claims that a high-powered rifle slug will not exit soft tissue. You should be proud to be so special. You also need counseling.
