CAPTAIN BOGARDUS ON TIN-COATED SHOT. 



EDITOR FOREST AKD Stream : New YORK, 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 consider it the best ehot I have ever used. I have given it a very severe test, having shot me 

 6 000 ball match, Jan. 8 and 9, wilh It. In that match I used two sets of double barrels, one of 10 and thy 

 other 12-bore, and each single barrel was discharged 1,500 times without being once cleaned. The tnne P 

 surface of the barrels Is bright and free from scratches, although in shooting I used them nntil the 

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

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

 which could ever result from continuous disciiarges of the gun. A. H. BOQARDUS.

6,013 SHOTS WITHOUT WIPING IN A I-HOT-G1JN. 



Captain Bogardus' great feat of breaking 6,000 glass balls has proved that the powder is all that Is 

 claimed for It. The barrels, 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, snd that the Captain has used about 

 200 pounds of the same powder dm ing the last year in one gun, shows, without a duubt, lhat the 

 powder is EFFICIENT, UNIFORM and SAFE. 



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

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

 powder, as, for inslance, Mr. E. B. Souther, of the Massachusetts Mile Association, won last year two 

 gold medals, two silver medals, two revolvers, and lour cthtr prizes in using the DITTMAE EIFLE 

 POWDEE. 



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

 ably, and the fact that ihe Government Armory at Springfield Is making now all kinds of testing 

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