No doubt you can find as many for the .38 Special cartridge.

And they BOTH missed Yoko?
Chapman was a dumbass, probably got whatever ammo he could find.
December 8, 1980. That would have been a good time to do a proper investigation.
So much for karma being instant
I always trust the Brits for gun information. A .38 Special revolver can fire a variety of bullet types, including semi-wadcutters, jacketed hollow points (no, they are not the same thing), and “lead” bullets.
I’m assuming the NYPD noted the brass left in the gun, and searched Chapman’s home for his ammo. They would have noted if there were discrepancies. He could very well just have had a mixed load in his cylinder, especially if he was scrounging given NYC’s gun laws.
Semi wadcutters are not hollow point bullets and those of that era were typically lead, although there are some that are copper plated lead.
Imagine one more shooter.
There were pamphlets circulating around NYC at the time claiming the CIA wanted Lennon out of the picture. He was having a career renaissance and they didn’t want his peacenik ways interfering.
Not saying I agree, just reporting what I remember.
2nd gunman was on the grassy knoll outside the Dakota and Yoko didn’t even see him! ha ha
Clowns? FIB? 🤔
Who says the bullets were different, other than how much they were deformed? It seems pretty clear that one of the 2 bullets was deformed to the point it could not be identified beyond caliber, thus “.38 caliber lead bullet”. The other bullet was also seriously deformed, but identifiable as “semi-wadcutter OR hollow point”.
Stephen King shot John Lennon

“Reveals government codes in major magazines, Including the killers face, and true identity. Mark Chapman’s name attached to a letter to the editor printed weeks before the murder and more that proves a Nixon, Reagan, and yes, Stephen King conspiracy.”
This guy used to drive around the Bay Area in a van with writing all over it in the early 90s, and call in to talk shows on KGO.
Are there any high profile assassinations in the past 80 years that WERE NOT committed by either the CIA or MI6?
Good grief... I just got finished listening to RFK Jr give some convincing thoughts about who he believes shot his father (not Sirhan Sirhan)... and now you tell me there is doubt about the killer of John Lennon?
Could have gone either way. But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot.
WHO CARES?
I know I sure as hell don’t!

Crazy conspiracy night.
We all know it was Stephen King.
