BUCK SHOT IN HIGH POWER 



RIFLES. 

 Jack Pattern tells Mr. Davis that the 

 reason the latter can not get good results 

 with buck shot in a 30-40 rifle is because 

 he uses too much powder. Yet there is a 

 way of loading buck shot for high power 

 rifles that will prove satisfactory with any 

 charge from 8 grains to a shell full. Se- 

 lect a shot of a size which when wrapped 

 in a greased patch will fit tight in the shell.. 

 For the 30 caliber I use No. 1 buck, run- 

 ning 12 shot to the ounce. Eight grains 

 Laflin and Rand rifle smokeless is a good 

 load for 20 yards. For a 100 yard charge, 

 target or small game shooting, I use 18 

 grains. Put a light wad over powder to 

 hold it against the primer. Force the shot 

 a little below the muzzle of shell, cut patch 

 flush with the rim and cover with clean 

 tallow. The penetration of this load at 30 

 yards is 5% inch boards. Buck shot 

 loaded in this way can be used successfully 

 in any gun they will fit, and with any 

 powder charge suited to desired range.

I am an old wolfer and trapper, and have 

 used all kinds of puns and ammunition. 

 I have found only one make of gun that 

 will answer for all sorts of eame. If my 

 life ever depends on the result of a single 

 shot, I want to fire that from a Winches- 

 ter. I should be sure it would not jam nor 

 hang fire, nor stick in zero weather. For a 

 hunting arm there is nothing more power- 

 ful and accurate than a 30-40 Winchester. 

 I do not like the soft point bullet ; it spoils 

 meat. The steel point, well placed, is 

 equally deadly; if not well placed, the ani- 

 mal will recover. Game shot with the soft 

 point will often escape only to bleed to 

 death where it can not be found. 



Should like to hear more from Old Trap- 

 per regarding scents he has found best for 

 wolves and coyotes.

I will pay cash or give liberal exchange 

 for interesting unmounted photographs, 

 any size, either amateur or professional.
