Barrie its not an eiytie bullet wrong profile.
The Carcano was a piece of junk, how he
managed to hit Kenedy with one of those
beats me, especially the amount of surplus
military rifles available on the American market
at that time.
I used to collect cartridges, like people collect stamps,
you'd be surprised at the history behind

a calibre of ammo, I had over 500 rifle Calibres
from .22 to .577 and around 250 pistol rounds from the
4.25mm lilliput to the old .500 Webly.
Also had a few shotgun rounds as well

Had to give them up when I surrendered my
permit, all I have left are a few pics.
I've attached one showing the Carcano, I've put a black
stripe over the top.
