CAPTAIN BOGAKDUS ON TIN-COATED SHOT. 



Burron Fosest amd Stream : New Yokk, Jan. 13. 1879. 



Having been asked by many of your readers as to the merits of TIN-COATED SOFT SHOT, I deslr 

 to say that I conBider it the best shot I have ever used. I have given it a verv severe test, having shot me 

 6,000 ball match, Jan. s and 9. with it. In that match I used , wo sets or double barrels, one of 10 and thy 

 other 12-bore, and each sing'e barrel was discharged 1,600 times without being once cleaned. The inne 

 surface of the barrels is bright and free from scratches, although in shooting I used them until thee 

 became so hot that they would not bear handling. I cannot imagine any case ot ordinary use which could 

 so severely test the cleanliness and perlection ot the tin-coating and its freedom from injury by any heat 

 which could ever reBult from continuous discharges of the gun. A. H. BOGARDUS.

STBGHO AHT& SAFE. 



SUPEEIOE IN EYEKY RESPECT TO BLACK POWDER 



6,013 SHOTS WITHOUT WIPING IN A SHOT-GUN. 



Captain Bogardua' great feat of breaking 6,ooo glass balls has proved that the powder is all that la 

 claimed for it. The barrel?, without being wiped, were as clean at the end of the match as after the 

 first shot. The fact of the firing of so many shots in succession, and that the Captain has used about 

 200 pouBds of the same powder daring the last year in one gun, shows, without a doubt, that the 

 powder Is EFFICIENT, UNIFOM and SAFE. 



The rifle powder is also without a rival. Ihe standing challenge to test this powder against any 

 other has never been accepted. Many riflemen throughout the country have been successful with the 

 powder, aB, for instance, Mr. E. li. Souther, of the Massachusetts Klfle Association, won last year two 

 gold medals, two silver medals, two revolvers, and four other prizes In using the L'lTTMAR RIFLE 

 POWDER. 



Greater facilities and greater demand have enabled us to reduce the price of the powder consider- 

 ably, and the fact that the Govtrnmtut Armory at Springfield is making now all kinds of testing 

 machinery for us will enable us to produce always a uniform, and in every way reliable, article.
