FOR BREECH- LOADING SHOT GUNS. 
These Shells are easily loaded, and the caps easily extracted from Inside. 
Head solid and much thicker than any Shell nowmade, giving a solid seat for cone or anvil, which prevents 
It from driving through or springing away, thereby causing mlss-llres. The Cone Is made of nickel, and fas- 
tened solid in its place. Neither rusts nor corrodes fast, like movable anvil made from steel. TheNlckel 
Cone also prevents miss-fire when a cap has been left on shell for a few days, which Is liable to occur either 
In steel or Iron. These Shells are finely finished, and made anv length ordered, from 2 M to 3# Inches.
