Breech Loading' Shot Grans. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 
than anv shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents it from driving through or 
springing away, thereby causing missfires. The cone is made of nickte and fastened solid in Us place. It 
neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents missflre 
when cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or irou. These shells, 
are ilnjly liuisbed, and made any length ordered, from 2i- to 3i inches. 
Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leading sportsmen’s houses 
throughout the country. GEO. E. HART & CO., 363 and 365 Market st., Newark, N. J.

Out of a class of 68 guns, 3 out of the 6 best were

the fact proven there, and afterwards confirmed by 
same gun being shot for two days per week for six 
weeks in succession, when its average score only took 
24th place, it s very best score being greatly below the 
scores of the best six guns.
