I am a regular reader of Recreation, 

 and enjoy especially the notes on guns and 

 ammunition. * I used to find pleasure in 

 any shot if I only made a kill, but now I 

 prefer the more difficult shots even though 

 I miss. I always load my own shells and 

 am satisfied I can so obtain a better pattern 

 than with any of the moderate priced fac- 

 tory loaded shells. My favorite load is 

 2^4 drams Dupont smokeless powder in 

 Leader shells, with one nitro card, one Y<x 

 inch black edge and J4 inch salmon felt. 

 over the powder, and i}i ounces chilled 

 shot with a C card wad on top. I should 

 like to know how others load their shells.

I am glad to see that Wm. Read & 

 Sons, of Boston, advertise in Recreation. 

 They keep a complete line of sportsmen's 

 goods, and are thorough sportsmen them- 

 selves, so you can depend on whatever 

 they say.

The Harrington & Richardson single gun 

 you sent me as a premium for subscrip- 

 tions is all right. I have given it a thor- 

 ough test and find it a strong, close 

 shooter. F. B. Kitts, Los Angeles, Cal.
