GET WHAT YOU HIT 
WITH THE PERFECT PATTERN 
T HE underlying reason for 
Winchester popularity 
among duck shooters is the 
Winchester perfect shot pattern, with 
which they can regularly, bring 
down their birds neatly killed, 
close to the blind. 
As a practical shotgun user, it 
will occur to you that there must 
be a special reason for this Win- 
chester accomplishment. There is. 
Every step in Winchester gun 
boring and chambering is taken 
with one purpose always upper- 
most. The same with every detail 
of Winchester shot making, shell 
making, priming, loading, wad- 
ding and crimping. This one pur- 
pose is to insure every user of 
Winchester Shotguns and Shells 
uniform spread of his shot pattern, 
together with quick combustion 
and high velocity. 
The Winchester perfect pattern 
is achieved through uniformity, 
through great care in maintaining 
perfect balance throughout all de- 
tails of gun and shell making. 
The pattern shown above was 
made at 35 yards, with Vyf ounces 
of standard No. 5 shot; 30-inch 
circle; mallard duck drawn actual 
size. It was shot with a Winchester 
Model 12 Repeating Shotgun of 
standard grade, and an ordinary 
Winchester Repeater Shell. 
Shoot a Winchester Model 12 
Hammerless Repeating Shotgun. 
Or if you prefer, a Model 97 with 
outside hammer. 
Be sure you get Winchester 
Shells — Leader or Repeater smoke- 
less, Nublack or New Rival, black 
powder. Like all Winchester prod- 
ucts, they are balanced in quality. 
Of course they are completely water- 
proof, properly made, primed, 
loaded, wadded and crimped. The 
only claim we make for them is 
the service you get from them. 
Go to your local hardware or 
sporting goods store for your gun 
and shells. And if at any time you 
wish information about them, or 
on any shooting subject — we in- 
vite you to write us.
