HOW WINCHESTER 
GIVES YOU PERFECT PATTERN 
O VER 400 different gauges adjusted 
to micrometer accuracy are used — 
and half as many searching in- 
spections and tests made — in manufactur- 
ing your Winchester Shotgun, on which 
you depend for half of the work of pro- 
ducing the Winchester perfect shot pattern. 
Every step in the manufacture and load- 
ing of each Winchester Shell requires 
equally careful attention. 
The Winchester perfect shot pattern is 
achieved by working to the principle of 
accuracy. By holding materials to the 
strictest quality standards and keeping 
manufacturing tolerances minutely exact, 
in making both guns and shells. And above 
all, by making Winchester Shotguns and 
Shells especially for each other. 
And then making sure of the result by 
still further tests. 
When your ruffed grouse roars up out of 
the briers and speeds away among the 
pines, he will find no open space to get 
through in the Winchester shot pattern 
you shoot at him. Winchester testing and 
inspection have made sure that the shot 
pellets will be evenly distributed without 
sacrifice of speed. 
The Winchester pattern shown above 
was made at 35 yards, using 1 i/ 8 ounces of 
standard No. 8 shot ; circle 30 inches. 
Use a Winchester Model 12 Hammerless 
Repeating Shotgun, 12, 16, or 20 gauge. 
Or if you prefer, a Model 97 with exposed 
hammer, 12 gauge. 
And always buy Winchester Shells — 
Leader or Repeater smokeless, New Rival 
or Nublack in black powder. We make but 
one claim for them — the service they give 
you. Of course they are completely water- 
proof, correctly made, primed, loaded, 
wadded and crimped. Like all Winchester 
products, they are balanced in quality. 
Buy your gun and shells from your local 
hardware or sporting goods dealer. And 
write to us any time you wish information. 
For Short Ranges 
Avoid mutilating your game unneces- 
sarily. Winchester Brush Loads give you 
the same pattern at 25 yards with a gun of 
any bore, from cylinder tc full choke, as a 
full choke gives you at W yards with the 
standard load. Without loss of velocity, 
penetration or uniformity ; due to the su- 
perior Winchester patented shot spreader.
