34 THE COMPLETE WILDFOWLER 
velocities are in definite relation to the proportion of powder 
to shot. This simply ensures that powder is not dependent 
upon the presence of a particular amount of shot to produce 
the resistance necessary for perfect combustion, but will do its 
work under widely varied conditions. 
Low recoil for a given velocity is evident with all loads, and 
of course this is a great consideration with the wildfowler, who 
is constantly using weapons of large bore and firing excep- 
tionally heavy charges. 
I append herewith a table of loads for E.C. No. 3, which 
is the result of most careful experiment, and add some further 
particulars. ;
