Concerning the Bursting of Guns. 
San Francisco, March 19.— We have been informed by one of 
our leading loading institutions that experiments have demon- 
strated to them that a wad accidentally left in a gun barrel will 
not cause the barrel to burst on subsequent firing. This opinion 
is at total variance with our belief, as well as the opinion of all 
shooters and manufacturers that we have ever come in contact 
with. The matter is so important that we think shooters, shell 
manufacturers and gun makers in general would welcome a dis- 
cussion of the matter, and by perhaps a series of experiments prove 
the correctness of this assertion, or at least throw some light on 
the subject that is somewhat yet disputed. 
We frequently hear of guns bursting without anv apparent 
reason. Sometimes 'it is attributed to a defect in the barrel; other 
times to an over-charge of powder; again, to misloading and 
very frequently we hear an assertion that the wad was left In the 
barrel and caused the barrel to burst. 
We think the subject of general interest to your -readers, and 
invite a discussion.
