A friend who owns a 38-72 box maga- 
zine black powder gun desired to use 
2 miniature load in the gun, so bought 
a 38 mould and made some bullets. Though 
14 grains would have been plenty, he 
filled his shells with 72 grains of smoke- 
less 30 caliber powder. The result was 
that a shell burst at the breech, throwing 
powder and brass in his face. He was un- 
der a doctor’s care 4 days. The gun was 
slightly damaged. I had advised him not 
to shoot the charge, as I expected it to 
burst the barrels.

I thank you for the Harrington & Rich-

it is claimed.

RECREATION is the best magazine pub-
