CAPTAIN BOGAKDUS ON TIN-COATED SHOT. 



EDITOR FOBEST AND STREAM: New York, Jan. 13, 18TO. 



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

 to say that I consider it the best snot I have ever used. I have given it a ver y severe test, having shot my 

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

 other 12-bore, and each Eingle barrel was discharged 1,600 times without being once cleaned. The Inner 

 surface of the I rrelsi bi ignt and free from scratches, although in shooting I used them until they 

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

 so severely l: IBs and perfection of the tin-coating and its freedom from injury by any heat 



which conld ever result from continuous discharges of the gun. A. H. BOGABDUS.

THE CHAMPION POWDER

NO SMOKE-NO DIRT-LESS EECOIL 



ST»©J8Tt& AUtO. SAFE. 



SUPEKIOE IN EVEEY RESPECT TO BLACK POWDER 



6,0)3 SHOTS WITHOUT WIPING IN A SHOT-GUN. 



Captain Bogardus' great feat of ^reeking 6,coo glass balls has proved that the powder Is all that Is 

 claimed for It. The baTrele, 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 pounds of the same powder daring the last year In one gun, shows, without a doubt, that the 

 powder is EFFICIENT, UNIFORM and SAFE. 



The rifle powder is also without a rival. The standing challenge to test thlB 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, wen last year two 



fold medals, two silver medals, two revolvers, and four other prizes in using the D1TTMAR RIFLE 

 OWDER. 



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 is making now all Kinds of testing 

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