ABOUT THE GUN. 
(Continued from page 43.) 
Will you please give me the striking 
force of the best known rifles that are 
used by experienced big game shooters, par¬ 
ticularly moose and grizzly bear hunters? 
L. B. P., Braddock, Pa. 
Answer: Winchester .405 calibre, weight 
bullet 300 grains, muzzle velocity 2204.4- 
foot seconds; muzzle energy 3236.6-foot 
pounds. 
Remington .35 calibre auto-loading, 
weight bullet 200 grains, muzzle velocity 
2000-foot seconds, muzzle energy 1776-foot 
pounds. 
Marlin .33 W. C. F., weight bullet 200 
grains, muzzle velocity 2060-foot seconds, 
muzzle energy 1889-foot pounds. 
Savage .250-3000 calibre, weight bullet 87 
grains, muzzle velocity 3000-foot seconds, 
muzzle energy 1739-foot pounds. 
Ross .280 calibre, weight bullet 145 grains, 
muzzle velocity 3050-foot seconds, muzzle 
energy 3002-foot pounds.—Ed.] 
What is the muzzle velocity of the Ross 
rifle and what is its energy? Do you rec¬ 
ommend these rifles for big game work and 
is the report true that these rifles, which 
were supplied to Canadian troops, broke 
down under service? 
R. W. D., Burlington, Vt. 
Answer: The muzzle velocity of the 
Ross rifle is 3050-foot seconds, energy 
3002-foot pounds. The Ross rifle is highly 
recommended by many big game hunters 
and it is a reliable and efficient weapon. 
There have been reports of its failure 
abroad but so far as we have been able to 
learn the trouble at first was due entirely 
to the ammunition. There also has been 
some question as to the suitability of the 
straight pull action for military purposes, 
the opinion prevailing among ordnance of¬ 
ficers that the old style Mauser bolt is more 
serviceable.—Ed.] 
Where can I have a regulation United 
States Springfield rifle restocked into a 
sporting model? 
Amateur. 
Any first class gunsmith can do this work 
for you. Write to Schoverling, Daly and 
Gales or Von Lengerke and Detmold, New 
York; Kennedy Brothers, St. Paul, Minn., 
or Stannard & Moran, Lake Street, Chi¬ 
cago.—Ed.] 
Is the Winchester 30-30 powerful enough 
for moose, elk and grizzly bear and would 
you recommend such a gun for use in a 
big game country? 
R. M. P., St. Louis, Mo. 
Answer: The 30-30 Winchester, with its 
striking force of 1522.4 is one of the most 
useful guns ever made and in times past 
an immense amount of game, much of it of 
the largest size, has fallen before it as the 
result of placing the bullet in a vital spot. 
The more powerful models, such as the 
1906 model 30 calibre, which has a striking 
force of 2517.6 and the 35 W. C. F. with 
2687.4, are now used more generally for 
large game. Their superiority for large 
game is clearly indicated by the above fig¬ 
ures showing their velocity and striking 
force.—Ed.]
