9 to 9 1-2 lbs. with a charge of only 4 drachms powder and 1 1-4 oz. 
No ti shot, an average ot 240pe Kts. Closer shooting may be ob- 
tained if desired, and the ptneiraiion is alsoone-third greater. By 
using only 2 1-4 drachms of powder belter pattern and penetration 
can be obtained than from other guns with 3 drachms of powder 
and much less recoiL See special reporter's notice in The Field of 
Jan.9, who has tried the shooting of these guns, and siat« s “that the 
trial was highly satisfactory, and certainly proved that Mr. Greener 
had not overstated on paper the capabilities ol hUgnn." Refer- 
ences can be given to sportsmen who have killed game at over 100 
yards. These guns have performed better both in pattern and pen- 
etration than any Guns vet made both in America and England.
