A 



Watch 

 Case 

 Is Made 



The Jas. Boss Stiffenec 

 jold Watch Case is mac 

 I two layers of Solid Gold 

 with a layer of Stiffening Metal be- 

 tween welded and rolled together into one 

 solid sheet of metal. The Jas. Boss Case is a Solid 

 Gold Case for all practical purposes. The Stiffen- 

 ing metal simply adds strength and durability. 

 The Boss Case is guaranteed for 25 years by the 

 largest watch case makers in the world, who have 

 been making it for a full half century. Every Boss 

 Case has the Keystone trade-mark stamped in- 

 side. Ask any dealer to show you one. Write us 

 for a booklet telling the whole story.

Should like to hear from someone who 

 has used the 170 grain bullet, No. 308,206 

 in Ideal Hand Book, in a .303 Savage. I 

 find U. M. C. .303 Savage miniatures fit 

 the chamber so loosely as to allow gas, 

 particles of powder and even bits of brass 

 from the shells to blow back into the eyes. 

 I cannot understand why the 180 grain 

 Savage bullet has a lower trajectory 

 at 100 yards than the 30-40 Winchester, 

 while at 200 yards its trajectory is higher 

 than that of the 30 W. C. F. A penetra- 

 tion of 50 boards is claimed for the .303 

 Savage while the Winchester catalogue 

 allows it only 7,3. Should like to hear from 

 users of the Remington-Lee 30-40.

x^or general shooting would you recom- 

 mend a cylinder or a full choke bore? 

 What is a good load in a 16 gauge for rab- 

 bits, and what for ducks? Are brass shells 

 suitable for shot guns ? How can I resight 

 a 4 caliber rifle?

Can a shot gun or a rifle barrel be re* 

 bored without changing the gauge or cali- 

 ber? Harold Sheldon, Fair Haven, Vt. 



ANSWER. 



Generally speaking, a shot gun or a rifle 

 can not be rebored without changing the 

 gauge or caliber. A gunmaker or gun- 

 smith can run a boring or rifling instru- 

 ment through your gun a few times to 

 remove the leLa or rough spots, but it 

 would not be well to continue the process 

 enough to cut away any perceptible 

 amount of metal. If this were done it 

 would change the gauge or caliber. — Editor. 



Will some reader of Recreation who 

 has used a 16-gauge shot gun for water 

 fowl shooting tell me if the weapon is 

 suitable for such work. Also what length 

 of barrel is best. Have always used a 12- 

 gauge gun, but think a 16 is large enough 

 for a sportsman who is satisfied with a 

 moderate bag.
