@bryanekers3472 It wasn't just Hathcock, but the USMC Scout Sniper Instructor course cadre, and SWAT sniper course attendees Carlos trained. They did it as an exercise in at least one course. It's not a single shot, but multiple shots in an allotted time with repeatable shot placement. Another interesting thing about that was that students could duplicate it with a tuned precision sniper system, but not the 6.5 Carcano. Bolt manipulation was too stiff, not smooth enough. Trigger weight too heavy, rifles were inaccurate.
One of the guys who was at a local rifle range in Texas said Oswald accidentally/inadvertently shot his targets at the range, so he went to go talk to him about it. Either the scope wasn't zeroed, or he got misoriented on the range.
FBI Report in WC says the 6.5 Carcano rifle wasn't zeroed. They had to install shims in the scope mount to get it zeroed. I remember reading that over 30 years ago and realizing the physical evidence did not support the WC conclusions, but they must have counted on people just not reading it.
The more you study it, the more things like this emerge, starting in the WC summary itself.
