A GOOD 20 BORE. 

 On selling a io pound double gun a few 

 years ago 1 bought a 20 gauge single bar- 

 rel Hopkins & Allen. My experience with 

 this little gun has greatly exceeded my 

 expectation. As a squirrel gun I do not see 

 how it can be surpassed. I use brass shells 

 with 2 7 / 2 drams of powder and 34 ounce 

 of shot. Two thick cardboard wads and 

 one felt wad between, all 16 gauge, are 

 forced in over the powder and I thin 16 

 gauge felt wad over shot. With No. 4 or 

 No. 5 shot loaded in this way, squirrels in 

 the tallest trees here invariably tumble. 

 Out of 16 squirrels shot at last fall only 

 one was missed, and that by a little too 

 hasty pulling of the trigger. Among shots 

 made with the gun was the killing of a 

 rabbit 82 yards away. I have put 7 to 9 

 pellets of No. 4 in a 5 inch circle, at 40 

 yards. I can not see why it is necessary to 

 use a larger gauge and more ammunition. 

 The 10 and 12 gauges with 1% ounce or 

 more of shot might mow a larger swath 

 through a flock of quails, but I do not care 

 to buy *uy game the 20 will not kill.
