384 RECENT HUNTING TRIPS. 



effective small-bore cordite rifles, now in general 

 use by sportsmen all over the world, will be 

 found good enough. Personally I have found 

 a '303 and a '375 bore rifle, both by Holland, 

 very effective weapons against moose and 

 caribou, whilst several of my friends believe 

 that the *256 Mannlicher is the best of all the 

 small bore rifles. 



Mr. P. B. Vanderbyl, as well as Mr. St. George 

 Littledale, have shot all over the world with 

 these wonderful little rifles, and both have 

 killed with them very fine specimens of the 

 giant moose of Alaska ; whilst my friend Mr. 

 Charles Sheldon has been very successful in 

 killing grizzly bears — the most formidable of 

 American animals — with one of the same 

 weapons. 



Cartridges. 



Having chosen a rifle — whether a Mannlicher, 

 a Mauser, a '303 or a '375 bore — it is next 

 necessary to procure cartridges loaded with a 

 good form of bullet, and this is a very impor- 

 tant point.
