WOW! This is one clean and smart bullet. If your version was the truth then why close the books for 50 years or more.

Governor Connally's Wrist Wound and CE-399

Mr. SPECTER. And could it [CE 399] have been the bullet which inflicted the wound on Governor Connally's right wrist?

Colonel FINCK. No; for the reason that there are too many fragments described in that wrist.

Another expert.

Mr. SPECTER. Now looking at that bullet, Exhibit 399, Doctor Humes, could that bullet have gone through or been any part of the fragment passing through President Kennedy's head in Exhibit No. 388?

Commander HUMES. I do not believe so, sir.

Alright, I'll try it. Here's a photo of the same bullet from the back:

The primary deformation of the bullet is the flattening seen on the upper portion of the bullet, and only at the rear. The entrance wound in Connally's back was longitudinal, suggesting the bullet was tumbling after leaving Kennedy's neck. It would have continued to tumble upon entering Connally's wrist and probably stuck the bone side-on, near the rear, slightly flattening it. The bullet weighed 158.6 grains. Other similar bullets weighed an average of 161 grains.

Here are the fragments sugically removed from Connally's wrist:

The fragments are composed of lead and trace elements identical to those of the inner core of the bullet. They weigh 2.3 grains.
