The shot has been recreated at least four times - all successful. Once with a very realistic set-up using ballistic gel dummies. Guess what another "miracle bullet" almost exactly the same damage to the dummies as JFK and the Gov.

FWIW my suspect is smoking man from the sewer - which oddly enough he looked a lot like GB senior.

I agree with you!!! Some sources quote the M-C 6.5mm at “2296 FPS” muzzle velocity. Seems slow to me for that weight slug and that round. My 7 x 57mm routinely pushes 3,000 fps at the muzzle with a 150 grain Sierra boat tail.

In any case at that range it still had a great deal of energy.

"... If I had the time to read “Case Closed,” I would; it might very well enlighten me and I might come to a conclusion."

I think that it might.

In that book, almost every bit of time in Oswald's young lifespan is accounted for since his birth, through his time in the USMC, in Russia, short travels in Mexico, and period where he languished in dead end jobs in New Orleans and Dallas. You would have to satisfy us about when Oswald would have had time to join a complex conspiracy such as the one the conspiracists propose regarding the JFK assassination.

That's been the problem with the conspiracists since the first conspiracy books were ever written: Most theories depend on the willing reader ignoring that the main elements of the proposed conspiracy could not logically have happened.

If you still have a deep, lingering impression about the assassination going on forty-plus years, you should make some time and do research to arrive at the truth rather than being the type of person I mentioned in my first reply to you that simply throws up their hands and says "We'll never know...".

You are a very stubborn person. Someday perhaps you’ll learn to not try to change other people.

Oh, and the time frame is the same for everyone: 44 years this year, 45 years next...etc.

For that matter, do you remember Charlie Whitman?

I think he learned to shoot before he was a Marine.

Good marksman can be trained but becoming a superb marksman is a lifelong pursuit.

Ten years before my first round too, thanks old timer.

'57 was the year JKF won the Pulitzer for "Profiles in Courage."

Have you read any of this? (Link) Not your typical conspiracy stuff:
