Sportsman's Favorite Metallic 

 Breech Loading- Shot Onus. 



• These Shells are easily loaded, and the c*ps easily extracted from inside. Head solid, and much thicker 

 than any shell now made, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents it from driving througn or 

 springing away, thereby causing missfires. The cone is made of nickle and fastened solid m its place. It 

 neither rusts or corrodes fast like moveable anvil made of steel. The nickle cone also prevents missfire 

 ^aen cap has been left on shell for a few days, which is liable to occur either in steel or iron. These shells 

 are finely finished, and made any length ordered, from 2J to 3} inches. ,.-,..,"-. . , t, 



,, Shells and Loaders, and description Price Lists, can be obtained from all the leading sportsmen's houses
