68. 6.5 mm Carcano
If you ever fired one, and I've owned every US, Asian and European military round in 6.5, you would quickly realize that the very long dimension of the bullet and the extremely efficient sectional density of 6.5 mm projectiles prevents much tumbling even out to a couple of hundred yards, well beyond the range allged in Dallas. they may deviate/deflect of the linera, but they do not tumble until spent, which for such efficient calibres is a good ways out.
