CAPTAIN BOCARDDS ON TIN-COATED SHOT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: New York, Jan. 13, lfi79. 



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

 to say that I consider it tne best shot I have ever used. I have given it a very severe teat, having shot my 

 6,000 ball match, Jan. 8 and 9 wlih it. In that match I uBed two sets of double barrels, one of 10 and the 

 other 12-bore, and each single barrel was discharged 1,500 limes without being once cleaned. The Inner 

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

 became so hot that they would not bear handling. I cannot imaeine any caBe of ordinarv use which could 

 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.

SUPERIOR IN EVERY 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 barrels, without being wiped, were as clean at the end of the match as after the 

 first shot. The Jact of the firing of so many shotB In sncceeslon, and that the Captain has used abont 

 200 pounds of the same powder during tne last year in one gnn, shows, without a doubt, that the 

 powder la 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, aB, for instance, Mr. E. B. Souther, of the Massachusetts Rifle Association, wm last year two 

 gold medals, two silver medals, two revolvers, and lour other prizes In using the D1TTMAR RIFLE 

 POWDER. 



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

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

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