When I first got my Savage I received 300 

 rounds of ammunition manufactured and 

 guaranteed by the W. R. A. Company. I 

 obtained good results with the shells and 

 thought I had the best gun put up. Not 

 knowing there was a difference in shells, 

 I next bought U. M. C. adapted shells. 

 My gun shot low and I lost some easy 

 shots at game. One of the shells did not 

 contain any powder, merely a cap and bul- 

 let. Result, bullet in barrel ; no antelope. 

 I got more W. R. A. shells, but results 

 were no better. I concluded the gun was 

 worn out. Bought more Winchester shells 

 and maintained the old-time velocity and 

 elevation. I then concluded the trouble 

 was caused by the ammunition. I also used 

 U. M. C. shells loaded with Savage powder 

 and found them all right, but adapted shells 

 bring poor results. Montana is flooded 

 with them. I am now using the Savage 

 Arms Company's own shells, Nos. 1 and 2, 

 and find the old gun is not worn out.
