Recent articles in Recreation in regard 

 to Peters shot gun ammunition, remind me 

 of an experience I once had with some of 

 those shells. I had been using U. M. C. 

 ammunition, but as the dealer was out of 

 that I was persuaded to try Peters. 



I bought 50 shells and with a companion 

 using the same ammunition, went on a 

 hunting trip. When we put up the first 

 covey of quails we each gave them both 

 barrels, and as the birds were in an open 

 field we were surprised that none fell, but 

 thinking it our own fault we went on. The 

 same thing was repeated several times be- 

 fore we blamed the ammunition we were 

 using for our lack of success. 



We shot all day over fine quail ground 

 and bagged only 2 birds each. On return- 

 ing home we determined to test the power 

 of the shells. We put up a white pine 

 board at 30 yards for a target, and after 

 each shot examined the board. Few shot 

 stuck in the wood; most just made an in- 

 dentation the size of the shot and dropped 

 out. It is needless to say that was my last 

 attempt to use that kind of ammunition. 



With U. M. C. or Winchester ammuni- 

 tion a person can be sure of his game if he 

 does his part properly. I also find the rifle 

 ammunition of the 2 firms mentioned above 

 to be just as represented.
