This is from a Civil War History blog, but I think it explains in clear language:He was shot from the front and a fragment was found in his neck? The kind of bullet fragment was not listed on the death certificate, which doesn't actually mean it wasn't a 30 ought 6. If it was a soft point for example, shot at an angle which we know it was, and hit bone, which the neck is full of, they fragment.
Owens says the death certificate should include the kind of bullet that was used but then goes on to state for a fact, that because it wasn't there in detail and a fragment was found in his neck, that a 30 ought 6 was therefore, not used. This does not seem like a sound conclusion.

Ballistics experts typically suggest this type of thing is entirely possible, for example the JFK magic bullet.Just watched a fascinating video 90 min long that went into great detail of all aspects of the shooting by two ballistics experts. They are confounded by a number of things. Apparently the vertebrae from c2 to c6 were shattered and remaining bullet fragment then embedded in T1 ie downward. These injuries are entirely inconsistent with the location of shooter and shooting angle which should have allowed the bullet to pass through neck tissue and out the back but didn't. They try and establish explanations for why this could be explained everything possible but they still can't explain that if the neck injury was an entrance wound then how did i
t yaw 30° to then hit the vertebrae and the fact that entry was downward angle at c7 level yet decimated vertebrae above and wedged below.. what they suggest is that absent some obstructive force eg bone to cause that yaw it ought to have gone straight line.
It remains unexplained at this point
