Sir— I have a pair of W. IV. 3reene>r s oreech- 

 loaders (bought of H. C. Squires, of New York), 

 modified choke-bore. I have had an opportunity to 

 test these weapons on birds heavily feathered, and 

 where great penetration was essential to success. I 

 have repeatedly made long shots, always killing the 

 game clean. At a target both guns made a very
