76 THE GUN: AFIELD AND AFLOAT 



Of this class Ballistite is a good example, the ordinary 

 12-bore charge of this powder being but 26 grains. 



For several years past the editor of the Sporting 

 Goods Review, Mr. E. H. Stone, has issued an authori- 

 tative series of loading instructions for the sporting 

 nitro-compounds, and through the courtesy of this 

 gentleman I have been enabled to compile therefrom 

 the accompanying particulars of the charges of the 

 several powders now recommended for various gauges of 

 the shot-gun. (See p. 77 80.)
