CAPTAIN BOfciAHDCS ON TIN-COATED SHOT. 



Editor Fokbst and Stbkim : New York, Jan. 13 1878. 



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

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

 6 000 ball match, Jau. 8 and 9. with it. In that match I used two seta of double barrels, one of 10 and thy 

 other 12-bore, and each slugle barrel wa» discharged 1,500 times without being once cleaned. The inue e 

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

 became so hot that they would not bear handling. I cannot imagine any case of 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 discharges of the gun. A. H. BOGARDUS.

SUPEEIOK IN EVEKY RESPECT TO BLACK POWDER 



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



Captain Bogardus' great feat of breaking 6,000 glass balls has proved that the powder 1b all that is 

 claimed for It. The barrelf, without being wiped, were aB clean at the end of the match as after the 

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

 2o0 pounds of the sam« powder dining the last year in one gun, shows, without a doubt, that the 

 powder is EFFICIKNT, TJNIFOKM and SAFE. 



The rifle powder is aleo 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 instance, Mr. E. B. Souther, of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, win last year two 

 gold medals, two silver medals, two revolveis, and lenr other prizes in using the D1TTMAR RIFLE 

 POWDER. 



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

 ably, and the fact that the Government Armory at Siringtield is making now all kinds of testing 

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