Nitro in the Rifle. 



Some months since we resorted to a trial of nitro powder in the 

 t'itle Assisted by one of out- local experts, F. 0. Ross, we shot a score 

 of 50 shots at WiSSel'S Cypress Hills Park, from the machine rest, the 

 result of which was reproduced in Forest and Stream on Dec. 16, 

 1893. The merits of this target were such that we were induced to go 

 ahead with further experiments in order to demonstrate its qualities 

 for reliahle work. 



The target shot on Dec. 16 was made with a combination of 7grs. 

 nitro and about 4grs Hazard's KG powder in a .38-50 Ballard 

 Sehuetzen rifle. In the mean time we had the rifle recharabered for 

 the 55grs. shell, and continued our experiments. Some weeks since 

 we received from Messrs. Weibusch & Hilger, the New York agents 

 for the S. S. Powder Co:'s nitro powder, samples of their rifle powder. 

 A series of trials were made with the "Rifleite 450," with a full charge 

 (55grs. measure); the result Dot being satisfactory, we went back to 

 our original plan of using a small priming charge of nitro, and filling 

 the balance of the shell with black powder. 



On March 5 we fired, off hand, a series of shots at 200yds. on the 

 German ring target, using a powder charge as follows: lOgrs. Rifleite 

 and 36grs. FG Hazard ("apothecary weight), shells primed with the 

 new Winchester No. 8, W. primer. The total of the series (.50 shots) 

 was 1,085, an average of 217 for each 10 shots. 



Without cleaning, we proceeded to shoot two strings more of 10 

 shots each, using a 330 patched bullet. The shots are recorded in 

 their order as follows: 



22 25 22 21 24 21 22 22 21 23 -223 

 24 24 23 20 24 25 23 25 22 20—230 



In the 70 shots fired only one was out of the bullseye (12io. black), a 

 17. 



The most interesting part of this series was the close work of the 

 patched bullet. Including the preliminary shots some sixty shots 

 were fired before starting with the patched bullets, and beyond blow- 

 ing the smoke from the barrel after each discharge, the interior of 

 the barrel was not disturbed 



On March 7, using the same style of load but substituting SR for 

 the Rifleite in a series of 80 shots, shooting off-hand, we made the fol- 

 lowing score in 10 shot strings: 201, 226, 226, 225, 222, 2[0, 221, 224. 



In shooting this series we used the 330 lubricated bullet made in the 

 Ideal mould. Our purpose in shooting this style of load was to get 

 away from the excessive fouling which one gets in using black powder 

 alone, when shooting without cleaning. 



The nitro powder used in the Ballard in full charges is not safe and 

 we would not advise its use. But used in the quantities as indicated in 

 this article the results have been quite to our liking. Each discharge 

 leaves the barrel comparatively clean as the scores with the patched 

 bullets show. 



In loadiug the nitro, it is necessary, in order to get uniform results 

 to weigh each load. The black powder after the exact quantity to fill 

 the shell is ascertained can be loaded from the Ideal or the Wilkinson 

 machine We trust that any of our riflemen who have a desire to try 

 this combination will have as good snceess as our experiments have 

 indicated and should they hit upon any improvement we hope they 

 will favor the readers of Forest and Stream with the results. 



' PliAISTED. 



Ross and Dorrler Will Shoot. 



Among the many topics that have been uppermost in the minds of 

 our local riflemen for many months past has been a contemplated 100 

 shot match between Fred C- Ross and Michael Dorrler. Of the many 

 expert riflemen in America these two are looked upon as being the 

 best of all at the present time. To become expert in rifle shooting as 

 in other sports oegets rivalry, and in the case of Ross and Dorrler, 

 .here has been generated, largely through the aid of the partisans of 

 each, a strong desire to bring the two together in an individual match. 

 Ross is one of the youngest in the present cotrie of experts in off-hand 

 shooting, he has developed phenomenal abilities in the few years that 

 he has given to rifle practice. Dorrler, on the other hand, is one of the 

 older group, who have been prominent for a number of years. In the 

 gallery he had no equal, and at 200yds. the only man who could ever 

 make him lower his colors was Wm. Hayes, of Newark. These two 

 have met in several 100 shot contests, with the results on the whole 

 rather in favor of Hayes. But Hayes has been in the fight a good 

 many years. Time and business cares make it obligatory upon him to 

 retire from championship competitions. Thus it has come to pass 

 that the competition for the month, that Hayes has won so well these 

 many years, is about to become a very interesting subject to the 

 fraternity. 



The admirers. and followers of Ross in his rapid development as an 

 expert, desire to see this much coveted honor rest upon his shoulders. 

 In the other direction comes the old expert Dorrler, with his many 

 admirers, who believe that this veteran has abilities in him that have 

 not as yet been drawn out to the limit. The result is that with the 

 continual shoving and pushing on the part of the friends of these two 

 worthy exponents of the rifle, they have at last been brought, into 

 focus, and a match has been made aud articles signed calling for a 100 

 shot contest, to take place in WissePs Cyprus Hills Park, on April 16; 

 stakes $100 a side. It is to be hoped that when the two come together 

 on the day in question they will both be in condition to make the 

 scores of all previous matches past records. The friends of both men 

 believe that such will be the result. 



California Riflemen. 



Feb. m.— The most noteworthv event of the Mid Winter Fair shoot 

 this week is the performance of F. O. Young at the point target. He 

 started on Wednesday to see how many points he could make on 100 

 consecutive shots. He finished his first 50 shots on that day, scoring 

 102 points. The remaining 50 to-day yielded 94 or a total of 196 in his 

 100 shots— a very flue score. 



No other fine shooting has been done except on the man target, 

 when within a short space of time the following were recorded by the 

 secretary: H. Heeth 91, Dr. Rodgers 90, J. E. Klein 90. 



The financial outlook for the total shoot is very promising to the 

 projectors, as nearly $5,000 has been taken in for tickets to date. 



The Canadian Pistol and Ride Club held its semi-monthly all comers' 

 shoot to-day, but the scores were only ordinary. Practically no at- 

 tention has yet been given to rest shooting by the club. As a conse- 

 quence the scores are by no means praiseworthy. Facilities will soon 

 be established for the encouragement of this fascinating department 

 of rifle shooting. 



To-day in the all-comers' rest match Dr. Rodgers scored 99. In the 

 all-comers' army rifle match W. Glindeman scored 85, E. Hovey 84, F. 

 O. Young 83. Dr. Rodgers 83, P. Bohr 3'?, D. C. Babin 80, T. J. Carroll 

 78, L. Barrere 75, C. Mangels 69, G. W. Crane 65, H. B. Crane 56. J 

 Peters 56, A. E. Crane 63, H. G Marsh 41. 



In the all-comers' military match H. R. Brown made 75 and H. L. 

 Pendleton 74. The following scores were made in the all-comers' pis- 

 tol match: E. Hovey 90. H L. Pendleton 89, S D. Kellogg 89. G. M 

 Ipaiss 88, F. O. Young 87, L. Barrere 83. A. H. Pape 83, C. Thurlock 80

Jerseymen at the Targets. 



On Saturday of last week a number of riflemen from the Greenville 

 and Excelsior clubs assembled in Armbruster's Park for practice. 

 The weather was warm and fair. Mr. Dorrler, who is matched to 

 shoot a 100-shot match with Fred O. Ross on April 16, was out for 

 practice. He shot a series of 100 shots and made the remarkably fine 

 so' re of 2,246. Hansen shot in good form, making a total of 1,08m in 50 

 shots. Colin Boag made the highest 50-shot score that he ever made 

 in the outdoor range, making a total of 1,063. C. Sebeeline and John 

 Hill were present and participated in the shoot. The scores are ap- 

 pended:

With Eyes 64 Years Old. 



Nearly every sportsman in America has heard of Samuel Castle of 

 Newark, one of the most expert field and trap shots in the country, 

 but '.tew know of him as a rifle shot. In the days gone by, however, 

 Mr. Castle was fully able to hold his own in any kind of company, 

 either at rest or off shoulder work, but of late years he has confined 

 himself almost entirely to shooting with the smoothbore A short 

 time ago, however, with a party of friends he strolled into John 

 Hollenberg's North Ward ranges, at 423 Broad street, and tried a 

 few strings at a rest on the 25yds. range, using a 3-F Ballard gallery 

 rifle and .22 shorts made by the United States Cartridge Company, 

 which had been left at the range by "Tee Kay" Keller. 



He fired half a dozen or more of strings of io shots each, his lowest 

 score being 116 out of the possible 120 poiuts, <m his fourth and fifth 

 strings he made full scores of 120 each, and for the sake of showing 

 what his 64-year-old eyes are capable of doing, full-size facsimiles of 

 the two targets are Uere shown:

RIFLE NOTES. 



The Turtle Bay Rifle Club has disbanded. It is reported that a 

 number of the members will enter the ranks of the famous Zettler 

 Club. 



The Miller Club, in order to increase its membership, contemplates 

 reducing its initiation fee. 



The Our Own Club, of Hoboken, is adding new members to its roll 

 every week. 



The Greenville Club will soon celebrate its third anniversary, and 

 among the interesting features of the occasion will be a match with 

 the Exceisior Club team. Special invitations will be sent to the promi- 

 nent clubs and societies of New York and vicinity to be present to 

 participate in the hospitalities. The Greenville Club has gained an 

 enviable reputation in the fraternity for its hospitable reception to 

 visiting shooters. 



At the weekly shoot of the Excelsior Club on March 6 only two 

 members were present to participate in the competition for club 

 medals. L. P. Hansen made 245 and C. Thomas 230. 



The magnificent shooting that M. Dorrler has been doing within the 

 past few days will add new zest to the interest, of riflemen in the com- 

 ing contest between him and Ross. The latter, by his work in the gal- 

 lery of late demonstrates the fact that he too is in the best of form. 

 When the day of tue contest arrives and the match opens, Wissel's 

 Park will contain a larger gathering of riflemen than has been seen 

 there in many years. The amount of interest centered in this match 

 is greater by far than that of any previous match among riflemen 

 within our memory. That old veteran of the target Wm. Hayes, of 

 Newark, has been requested to act as referee, and has accepted the 

 position. 



On Wednesday of last week Michael Dorrler, who is matched with 

 Fred O. Ross to shoot 100 shots in Cypres Hill Park, on April 16. chal- 

 lenged G. W. Plaisted for a 100 shot race in the Greenville Park for a 

 small purse, granting the latter a handicap of 50 points. Plaisted 

 thought that inasmuch as Dorrler had just recovered from a severe 

 sickness that with the aid of the handicap Michael would be an easy 

 mark and accepted the offer. Tne match was shot off in the after- 

 noon following. After the 100 shots had been shot and the totals 

 footed up, Plaisted found that he had banked too much on his assur- 

 ance that the invalid could not shoot. The scores are appended in 10 

 shot strings:
