Hart’s Sportsman’s Favorite Metallic Shells for 
! Ji-eeeli Loading- Shot Guns. 
These Shelia are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 
than any shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents it from driving thspngh or 
springing away, thereby causing missfires. The cone is made of nickle and fastened solid in its place. It 
neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents missfire 
when cap has been left on shell for a few' days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These shells 
are tin sly finished, and made any length ordered, from 2* to 3J Inches.
