A FEW FACTS 
ABOUT POWDER. 
IN choosing a powder there are several points to be 
considered by the sportsman. First, is the powaer 
smokeless in reality, or is it soonly in name? Is the 
powder uniform in grain and so uniform in strength; or 
does it consist of big and small grains mixed with perhaps 
a quantity of powder dust? If the latter is the case, it is 
obvious to all thinking sportsmen that the powder is not 
reliable. Again, will the nitro you propose buying give a 
high velocity with a good pattern and a low breech press- 
ure, or will it scatter or ball the shot? Is the powder easy 
to load; will it give good. results in cheap shells and with 
cheap wadding ; or does it require special handling and ex- 
pensive shells and wads? These points are all of import- 
ance, but there is still another. Wi§ll the powder you pro- 
pose using keep its strength and always be the same as 
when you buy it; or will it fall down in damp weather, or 
lose its strength with age? 
These are important features to be considered in 
choosing a powder and they have all been considered in the 
manufacture of LAFLIN & RAND SHOTGUN SMOKELESS.
