Mitch Todd: "And what training do Generals have that makes them experts at determining the construction of spent ammunition?"
None of that shows that he couldn't tell a steel-jacketed bullet from a copper-jacketed bullet.
You haven't shown that he could have, or would have been able to, For that matter, how would he have have been able to tell it was a .30-06?
I seem to recall trying to hold you to an explanation of how one could tell that a bullet was steel jacketed. You hemmed and hawwed and talked around an answer. I figure an even better question is, how do one tell a bullet is a .30-06 just from the (mangled) bullet alone. Your ensuing gyrations might be entertaining.
I did an indepth post in my series on it, but of course it is gone. There was NO chain of custody for it.
Then it shouldn't be too all that hard to to answer my question, now that you've studied it.
