Ans.—The .25 cal. Remington Autoload¬ 
ing rifle is heavy enough for all the game 
that is found in this country with the ex¬ 
ception of the grizzly bear, and for these 
animals you cannot get too heavy a 
weapon. The 117 S. P. cartridge, how¬ 
ever, will answer the purpose. Relative to 
the twenty gauge, I am a firm believer in 
them. I have used them from Manitoba 
to Louisiana on everything from ducks to 
snipe and I find they answer the purpose. 
C T. L., El Paso, Texas; 
With a wind gauge sight windage is 
very easily corrected; but not having a 
wind gauge sight on our sporting rifles, 
how may we hunters make proper allow¬ 
ance for wind ? 
Ans.—The following rule is so nearly ac¬ 
curate for all ranges up to 800 or 1,000 
yards that the eye cannot discern the error. 
The rule is as easily applied. The deflec¬ 
tion of a bullet in inches-due to a 10 mile 
3 or 9 o’clock wind equals the range (in 
hundreds of yards) multiplied by itself less 
1, and that result multiplied by the number 
following the velocity in the following 
table: 
For 2000 f. s. multiply by 2 
2200 f. s. “ “ J.8 
2400 f. s. “ “ i .6 
2600 f. s. “ “ 14 
2800 f. s. “ “ 1.2 
3000 f. s. “ “ 1 
3200 f. s. “ “ 0.8 
3400 f. s. “ “ 0.6 
Illustrating the rule, using for example the 
30/40—2000 f. s. and say for 500 yards, 10 
mile 3 or 9 o’clock wind, the deflection in 
inches = 5 X (5 — r ) X 2 = 5 X 4 X 2 = 
40 inches or 3L3 yards. The distance to 
hold for windage may be judged by the size 
of the game shot at. Of course, the de¬ 
flection for a 5 mile wind would be )/2 as 
much, for a 15 mile wind as much, and 
for a 20 mile wind 2 times as much. 
If a pointed bullet is used, one should 
subtract 0.1 from the above figure in the 
table, if he wishes greater accuracy. 
The deflection for a 1, 5, 7 > or 11 o’clock 
wind is just V2 as much as for the similar 
3 o’clock wind; and the deflection for a 
2, 4, 8, or 10 o’clock wind is approximately 
7 /$ of a similar 3 o’clock wind. 
L. P K., Akron, Ohio; 
I should like to know the comparative 
properties of a .22 and .25 Remington au¬ 
tomatic rifle. Will you answer the follow¬ 
ing questions, please; 
1. What is the penetration of each? 
2. What is the muzzle energy of each? 
3. What is the trajectory of each? 
4. For long distance accurate shooting, 
would you suggest a telescope or other 
sight? If you suggest some other sort of 
sight, please give me full particulars. 
5. Will the .25 be appreciably better than 
the .22 for wild turkey shooting at vary¬ 
ing distances from 50 to 200 yards ? 
I speak of the Remington because I 
now own a .22. My feeling, however, in
