From experiment and close observa- I 
tions the writer finds that if metal- 
jacketed bullets are given a thin coating 
of grease there will be less chances of 
metal fouling and better accuracy. The 
writer believes that if lubricated metal- 
jacketed bullets were used exclusively in 
a high-power rifle, the life of the barrel 
would be almost doubled. However, in 
lubricating high-power rifle bullets, care 
must be taken that no grease is left on 
the shell. Probably in the future, when 
target-shooting with high-power rifles 
becomes a popular sport and these rifles 
are used throughout the year instead of 
only during a short time in the autumn 
or winter, some means will be taken to 
provide lubrication for the cartridges 
that are put on the market. 
give a rifle the proper care, some 
attention should be given to the am- 
munition used. Cartridges that are not 
perfectly clean should not be inserted in 
the chamber of the gun. If the cartridges 
are allowed to remain in the loops of a 
leather belt any great length of time they 
often get badly corroded and should be 
cleaned before being used. The presence 
of too much oil or grease in the chamber 
of the rifle will sometimes lead to pulling 
the shell apart somewhere between the 
^ head of the shell and the seat of the bul- 
■ let. Then, too, the powder charge in a 
cartridge may become deteriorated by 
exposing the cartridge to light oils for 
long enough periods to allow some of the 
oil to seep in between the primer and the 
primer pocket or in between the bullet 
and the neck of the shell. It is a good 
plan to get into the habit of extracting 
an empty shell immediately after it is 
fired and not allow it to remain in the 
chamber. High velocity cartridges should 
never be used in a black powder rifle that 
does not have a smokeless steel barrel as 
there is danger of the weapon bursting at 
the breecli, especially if the bore is not 
clean and bright. 
In using a 22 caliber rifle it is advisable 
not to use "long and short cartridges in 
I the gun promiscuously during a day’s 
hunt, without cleaning out the chamber 
^ of the gun before interchanging the two 
lengths. The short cartridges will leave 
a residue that, unless removed, will be- 
I come strongly imbedded in the fore part 
of the shell chamber in using the longer 
shells. Where the long and short cart- 
ridges are used carelessly in the same 
gun, there is danger of the fore part of 
J the chamber becoming rusted or pitted 
I and making it difficult to extract the fired 
^ shells of the long or long rifle cartridges. 
The long rifle cartridges are more pow- 
f erful and accurate than the long or short 
I cartridges. 
Carelessness in removing or changing 
the sights, especially the rear sight, fre- 
I quently results in denting or springing 
1 the barrel out of line and seriously 
affects its shooting qualities. If the 
sight-base is too large for the slot, it 
I will act as a wedge if driven into the 
recess on the barrel and the shooter may 
unconsciously cause a great pressure to 
be exerted that may result in serious 
injury to the gun. If the sights fit the 
barrel-slot too tightly, the base of the 
sight should be reduced to the proper 
size by using a small file. Never enlarge 
Quick, Clean Way 
To Do Your Camp Cooking 
G et out your Kampkook, 
remove the cover and 
light up. In two min- 
utes you have a hot, blue gas 
flame; coffee steaming and ba- 
con sizzling in less time than it 
takes to gather fuel for a wood 
camp fire. Kampkook makes 
its own gas from the same grade 
of gasoline you use in your car. 
Easy to light, wind proof, safe 
anywhere. Most experienced 
tourists and campers cook the 
Kampkook way because it en- 
ables them to prepare a hurry-up 
lunch or a big meal anywhere, as 
quickly as in the home kitchen. 
Kampkooks are sold by dealers 
in sporting goods everywhere.
