CAPTAIN BOGAKDUS ON TIN-COATED SHOT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: Nkw York, Jan. is. wo. 



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

 to eay that I consider it tiie best shot I have ever used. I have ^iven it a vfrj severe test, having Ehot mj 

 6,000 ball match, -i an. S and 9. with it. In that match I need • wo Bets of double barrels, one of 16 and the 

 other 12-bore, and each single barrel was discharged ], COO times without being oner droned. The Inner 

 surface of the barrels Is bright and free from scnlcheB, although in Bhootiiig I used them until they 

 became so hot that they wf-uld not bear handling. 1 cannot imagine any rase ol ordinary UBe which coul'a 

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

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

THE CHAMPION POWDER 



OF THE WORLD. 



NO SMOKE-NO DIRT-LESS RECOIL 



STHONO AMD SAFE 



SUPEKIOE m EVERY RESPECT TO BLACK POWDER 



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



Captain Bogardus' great feat of breaking e.ooo glass ballB has proved that the powder Is all that is 

 claimed for it. The barreh, without being -wiped, were as clean at the end of the match as afttr the 

 first shot. The tact of the tiring of so many shots in suicesMon, tnd that the Cap>aln has Ufced about 

 209 pounds of the same powoer during tie labt year in one gun, shows, without a doubt, that the 

 powder is EFFICIENT, UNIFOI-M and SAFE. 



The rifle powder is alFO without a rival. The standing cralicnpe to test this powder against any 

 other has never been accepted. Many riflemen tlirruf hout Hie cruniry have been successful with the 

 powder, as, for instance. Mr. E. B. Souther, ot the Matsachneem Kite Association, v. in last year two 

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

 POWDER. 



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

 ably, and the fact that the Government Armory at Springfield 1b making now all kinds of teBtJng 

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