THE BOOK I WANT 
THE BOOK I NEED 
THE BOOK I MUST HAVE 
LOADING A CHOKE-BORE WITH BALL. 
There has been quite a little written about 
loading the shotgun with ball, and good results 
have been obtained by the experimenters. In 
fact, one enthusiast says that the “smooth bore” 
can give points to the rifle, if properly loaded, 
for fifty yards. This is with round ball. 
Perhaps some of the brothers would like to 
know a little wrinkle. I won’t put it as an orig¬ 
inal one, for the “original” part of the wrinkle 
is very small compared with the rest made up 
from various pointers I have obtained from other 
sources. 
My 12 gauge has both barrels choked; right 
medium and left full, and I am a little scary 
about shooting buck shot in them on that ac¬ 
count, but there are times when one has a shot¬ 
gun that he often wishes he had a rifle, with a 
good-sized ball. If one has a true cylinder gun, 
of course he can easily load a few cartridges with, 
ball fitted to the bore, but here is the idea:— 
We will suppose we want to load a few car¬ 
tridges for a gun bored like mine, with a reg¬ 
ular conical bullet. If shot direct through the 
gun, it would in the majority of cases start out 
like a man with a four-finger charge of “Old 
Kentucky,” the base of the bullet trying to keep 
up with the point. 
We have got to keep the ball fairly straight 
in the barrel. And here is one way: Load the 
shell the same as for shot, i. e., three or three 
and a half drachm of powder, with two wads. 
Then take a couple of wads and with a wad 
cutter the same size of the bullet, punch out ’a 
circle in the center of the two wads, leaving a 
sort of ringed wad, which is to be put on over 
the bullet like a collar. Seat this combination 
on top of the wads over the powder, pressing 
the rings down firmly around the bullet. Now 
take a little lubricant —beeswax and vaseline is 
good,—and press firmly around the part of the 
bullet that will show from the top or point down 
to the first groove. Then crimp down on the 
lubricant. 
The rings or collar keeps the bullet compara¬ 
tively straight in the gun barrel, and will be 
dropped at the muzzle, allowing the ball to 
travel as it should. The lubricant is in the right 
place, at the point of the bullet. 
With this load we have a charge that is as 
good as a rifle for game at thirty to fifty yards. 
Of course we wouldn’t want to undertake to 
make a record at the butts against the rifle, but 
in this way we can use the same bullet that we 
use in our rifles, without having to mould round 
bullets, and such a load can be used in a choke 
bore without danger. 
Perhaps some of the readers may have a bet¬ 
ter plan. If so, we would like to hear of it.
