Colonel Finck. The caliber of this bullet, if I could measure it, but I cannot touch it.
The Chairman. We can.
Colonel Finck. I would say it is consistent with a 6.5 mm.
Mr. McCloy. Are you familiar with the Mannlicher 6.5 rifle?
Colonel Finck. I am familiar with the caliber 6.5. I can draw the calibers for you on the blackboard.
Mr. McCloy. What is the initial velocity of a 6.5 mm. bullet of that character?
Colonel Finck. Of the order of 2,000 feet per second.
Mr. McCloy. And you say there would not be a substantial diminution of that velocity either at the point of impact or at the point of exit?
Colonel Finck. That is correct.
Mr. Specter. One more question, Mr. Chief Justice.
