No black powder behind a bullet ! On account of its 

 wonderful action in Rifles and Pistols, King's Seml= 

 .Smokeless has been adopted in all metallic cartridges 

 (excepting smokeless) without advance in price.

Please tell me how to reload .30-30 Win- 

 chester cartridges so the bullets will not be 

 loose in the shells.

ANSWER. 



See information given in the Ideal Hand- 

 Book relating to the expansion, resizing 

 and crimping of metallic shells, and fit of 

 bullets, pages 11 to 15. Read also about 

 .30 calibers and smokeless powders, on 

 pages 31 to yj. Illustrations of various .30 

 caliber bullets and description of the same 

 will be found on page 83. A copy of the 

 Ideal Hand-Book may be had on applica- 

 tion to the Ideal Mfg. Co., New Haven, 

 Conn. 



In reply to J. D. N.'s questions in Jan- 

 uary Recreation would say: It is not 

 worth while to exchange a .30-30 Winches- 

 ter for a .303 Savage; though the latter is 

 by far the better arm in every way, unless 

 one intends to use a rifle in a rough coun- 

 try like the Rockies, or on horseback. For 

 those purposes I should not take any ham- 

 mer gun as a gift. As to revolver to use 

 on a ranch, I should buy a .32 or .38, built 

 to shoot the jacketed bullet, smokeless 

 shell, and with .44 frame, etc. This is now 

 a most popular arm in New Mexico.
