The lead fragments that were recovered from Connally’s wrist had an amount of antimony that precisely matched the stretcher bullet. In fact it was a 97% probability of a match. And also, the microscopic scratches that were made as this bullet spun down the rifle barrel exactly match that of the test bullet that was fired from Oswald’s rifle. This proves conclusively that the stretcher bullet was fired from the same rifle – the Oswald rifle – that was found on the sixth floor of the depository.
