 to 16, 1885, tlie First Prize and Diamond Badge In the Individual Cha^mpionship Match, open 

 to ali the world, was won by B. Tiepel with a Parker gun. Among the contestants shootmg 

 other guns were such champions as Carver, Bogardus, Cody, Stubbs, Erb, and others. Dur- 

 ing the entire tournament more prizes were won with Parker guns, m proportion to the 

 nifmber used, than with any other gun. i— »

 No, 1 represents the exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded before the wads have been rammed 

 down. No matter what kind of wads are used, the same 

 should be tough and hard, and the same thickness of wad- 

 ding should be used as shown in these Cuts. 



lu ma-ny Parker, Colt and other guns, wads ot one or two 

 Sizes larger*than bore o£ shell must be used, as the Inner 

 diameter of the barrels of such guns is from one-half to 

 two calibre larger than that of paper shells, preventing the 

 necessary confinement and causing half of the charge being 

 thrown out uuburut. This Is the secre-t ol failures to get 

 the desired penetration with .•i.MUraOAN

In the absence Of stronger primers than used lor Amerie, 

 Shells, we advise to put a llttlo black powder in the botton 

 of the shell, which will generate about the same initial hca 

 as a stronger primer and help burning the whole charge c : 

 Wood Powder, even when not confined as thoroughlv a;

 No, 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge, xhr- 

 wads have been rtimtiied down about three-eighths of an 

 inch with two or three hard blows of a mallet or hammer 

 and a tight fitting ramming-stick, until the Wood Powder is 

 piessed into a solid mass. Thoshotls then put on In the 

 or.Unary way and shells crimped down tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger than gauge.
