Oh cool, so you know when it was dented, and you know exactly how and went it was dented? You have the paper-trail for that batch of ammo from the factory in Italy, to it's sale and import to the US? You can confirm that this shell casing was in good working order on 11/21/63?
It is quite possible that Oswald fired the shot with the dented round, and it jammed his rifle, and the dent came when he cleared the shell. I realize you have no idea what I just said, which is why you spend a day at a shooting range.
