Wounds Ballistics Tests Proved CE 399 Was Planted

Why aren't there experiments being done on 6.5 rounds done on flat layers of ballistics gel and bone simulant? It wouldn't be that expensive, but they do sell flat panels of bone simulant material for the purpose of target shooting. This could be the best chance at trying to replicate a low-speed 6.5 round, tumbling through bone, remaining pristine.

Because these guys' goal isn't to present a scientific conclusion.

They are hawking their methodology to prosecutors and PDs.

"We have a Forensics company with a bespoke methodology that proved the authorities were correct in the JFK Case! (*wink wink*) It uses flashy graphics, our patented "Ballistoscience"(TM) and invites the jury to make uninformed decisions based on the sort of junk science that kind of looks like it should make sense! The jury won't understand it, but it looks and sounds like science! And the only people who will dispute it are the Crazy Conspiracy Nuts!"

If you're asking why the authorities don't do that... they are happy  with the result.

If you're asking why CTists don't... who would believe it? The people who make TV shows showing the junk science based evidence that "Proves" the WC Case won't make shows pointing the finger the other way. And They will never "prove" it to be impossible, because no matter how many times you show it to be ridiculous, there are people out there who will say "Doesn't matter how small the chance... 1:10'000'000'000 that just means it COULD happen... therefore it DID!"

Ok, then anybody who is willing to spend a few hundred dollars on doing experiments could maybe revolutionize our understanding of the bullet deformity issue. Unless anybody objects to the value in doing experiments where 6.5 rounds are fired into layers of ballistics gel and bone simulant plates... that might make a cool special on a local news channel. The 60th anniversary is coming up and virtually none of the experiments done on these kinds of "specials" in the past have gathered any useful information... save maybe the "discovery channel bullet", which has a deformity that new experiments should try to replicate (hit 2 ribs in ballistics dummy, bent at a 20+degree angle and slightly flattened). The idea of firing bullets into simple large, flat layers of bone and flesh simulant rather than an expensive ballistics dummy sounds way easier than trying to do it like the Discovery Channel with a dummy sniped precisely from a distance.
