These shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from inside. Head solid and much 

 thicker than any shell now made, giving a solid scat tor cone or anvil, which prevents it from driving 

 through or springing away, the P-llrea. The Cone is siade of nickel, and fastened solid in 



its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes last, like movable anvil made from steel. The Nickel Cone also 

 prevents miss-tire when a cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel 



oriron. These shells are finely finished, and made any length order- ; L , Inches,

FROM CAPTAIN BOGARDUS, CHAMPION WING SHOT OF AMERICA. 

 Messrs. George E. Hart & Co : Gentlemen—The fifty shells I received from you to-day suit me better 

 than any I have ever used. They are stronger and better in every respect, and I shall use them in all my 

 shooting hereafter. Yours truly, A. H. BOGARDUS.
