The superior quality of these cartridges is not the result of chance, but arises from the fact that the 

 Chamber lin Cartridge Machine is so constructed that every charge of powder and shot is measured with 

 mechanical accuracy, and the wads, which are made especially for use in these machines, are of uniform 

 thickness, and placed upon the powder and shot with a suitable and unvarying pressure, an advantage which 

 cannot be secured by any other method of loading cartridges. Every trap shooter understands the advantages 

 of uniform velocity of shot in wing shooting; this cannot be obtained except the charges of powder and 

 shot are alike in each cartridge, and the wadding placed upon each with the same pressure. This is accom- 

 plished in the Chamberlin Machine by means of graduated rammers, which are adjustable to any desired 

 pressure, from five pounds to one hundred pounds. Thorough experiments have been made by which it is found 

 that thirty-five pounds' pressure upon the powder wads gives the best results in "R larxTr iPOTOTCLex* 

 cartridges, and seventy-five pounds the best results in IVood IPOTOTCLc^X* cartridges. Previous to 

 the invention of the Chamberlin Cartridge Machine, experiments in this direction could not be made, for the 

 reason that no means for ascertaining the pressure that was applied to the wads had been devised. A blow 

 of the mallet was an unknown quantity, and no two blows were alike, and the same can be said of hand 

 pressure upon the rammer. 



The following REMARKABLE SOORSS were made with Chamberlin Cartridges: 

 Match at Cincinnati, Ohio, June 20. Conditions, §0 singles and 25 doubles: 



J. R. Stice.. . H out of possible 100 . 



B. Teeple &0 " " 100 



McDuef 88 " *' 100 



A. Headers 86 " '* 100 



On July 11, same place and conditions: 



J. R. Stice broke 90 out of possible 100 



McDuff.. " 90 " " 100 



A. Meaders " 87 " " 100 



This, we believe, is the highest average ever made at 700 clay-pigeons, one-half being 

 doubles, and shows the superiority and uniformity of the Chamberlin Machine-Loaded 

 Cartridges.
