difference in penetration in wood would 
be so small, in most cases, that the varia- 
tion in the hardness of different testing 
blocks would be sufficient to make it 
practically impossible to compile a per- 
fectly accurate table for 20 or 30 charges. 
In the accompanying tabulation are 
given results of Winchester tests with 
3*4 drams of Hercules E. C. and 1*4 
ounces of 4, 6, and 7*4 shot, the penetra- 
tion being in soft pine at 40 yards.

When using a load of i> l A drams of 
E. C. and i }4 ounces of shot, 4’s have a 
27 % advantage in penetration over 7 * 4 ’s 
and a 12% advantage over 6’s. 6’s have 
a 14% advantage over 7^2’s. With dif- 
ferent loads of powder or quantities of 
shot, slightly different results would be 
obtained. 
In looking at our velocity table we see 
that a load of 3 *4 drams of E. C. and 1%. 
ounces of No. 4 shot have an average 
velocity over 40 yards of 957 foot sec- 
onds. This is only 38 foot seconds or 4 
per cent, more than is obtained with the 
same quantity of 6’s, yet it brings a 12 
per cent, advantage in penetration at 40 
yards. To offset this, the 6’s have a 65 
per cent, advantage in pattern. This 
explains clearly why it is that such a 
high percentage of duck hunters prefer 
6’s to 4’s for all wild-fowl shooting ex- 
cepting for very long-range shots, where 
6’s no longer give sufficient penetration 
to kill properly. 
A 65% advantage in pattern, provided 
the penetration is sufficient to make 
clean kills, surely outweighs a 12% ad- 
vantage in penetration plus a 4% advan- 
tage in velocity. This last-mentioned 
figure represents approximately the ad- 
vantage in leading a quartering shot at 
this range, when using the larger-sized 
pellets. It does not, however, give a true 
idea of the constantly increasing value 
of using larger shot at the longer ranges. 
A NOTHER use of the velocity table 
is to show the uselessness of trying 
to obtain high velocities at long range 
by using heavy powder charges with 
very fine shot. A charge of 3^2 drams 
of E. C. and iJ 4 ounces of No. 8 shot 
gives an average velocity of 942 F. S. 
The same load develops a velocity of 944 
F. S. with No. 10’s. Either of these 
charges is a good stiff load. With 4’s, 
S’s, or 6’s, it is a humdinger on ducks. 
But yet, this charge of 8’s reaches the 
target no faster than a 3 drams 1 ounce 
charge of 5’s, which can be shot com- 
fortably from a featherweight field gun 
held in one hand. The heavy load of 
xo’s is still worse, being no faster than 
the 3 drams I ounce load of 7’s. At a 
range of a few yards, it will blow a 
quail to bits or drill a 2-inch hole 
through an inch board, but at 50 yards 
or over it is about as effective as the 
Peace Treaty. In addition, the heavy 1 
shot will show much greater penetration 
and killing power in proportion to their 
average velocities. The remaining ve- 
locity is higher and the pellets are heavy 
enough to use it most effectively.
