RECREATION. 



lvii 



I have been testing the Peters and the 

 Winchester cartridges. First I tried both 

 makes in a 32-20 revolver, using Peters 

 semi-smokeless and Winchester black pow- 

 der cartridges. The effect of the bullets 

 on game was much the same ; but the effect 

 of the powder on the gun was decidedly 

 different ; 6 shots with Peters dirtying the 

 gun more than 12 with the other. 



Next I tried both makes in a Winchester 

 30-30 rifle, using soft nose bullets. First 

 day I used Winchester shells, shooting a 

 coyote at 161 steps. Only one bullet hit 

 him, but it killed. The next day I tried 

 Peters ammunition and got a shot at an- 

 other coyote at 195 steps. It knocked him 

 down but he got up and escaped. A few 

 days later I had a similar experience with 

 Peters cartridges. That time I brought a 

 coyote down at 125 yards and again at 

 about 300 yards, but still he got away.
