loud for a special gun or rat killer may 
be charged with a sin greater than mine. 
Be patient, Bro. Tinney, and in the near 
future you shall behold one of these at¬ 
tachments and you shall see for yourself. 
As this gun was described pretty well in 
the December issue I beg to be acquitted 
and allowed to advance into the good 
graces of our fellow folks of the shooting 
world. T. T. Pierce. 
I GO TO WORK 
L AST year I collected all my old field 
notes on the .22 together with a mass 
of contemporary data sent to me from 
England where they have gone into the 
small bore game very thoroughly and met 
with wonderful success. I made a digest 
of all this abstract matter and spent the 
fall experimenting. During the past sea¬ 
son I added the element of green men and 
completed an instruction course worthy of 
the name. The results were most surpris¬ 
ing. The effective range of the .22 long 
rifle rim-fire cartridge is just a trifle more 
than one-quarter that of the service am¬ 
munition, so I just simply divided all 
measurements by four and followed the 
official manuals issued by the War De¬ 
partment, and for all ranges up to and 
including 300 yards, the “22-5-40” is, all 
things considered, the best practice cart¬ 
ridge now on the market. And at 200 
yards it can hold its own in an accuracy 
test with the best hi-power ammunition. 
T. E„ Billings, Mont.: 
For long distance accurate shooting 
would you recommend a telescope or do 
you prefer some other sight? 
Ans.—A telescope is always a great aid 
when one’s eyes are not normal. For tar¬ 
get or game shooting at long distances a 
telescope is excellent when its use is un¬ 
derstood, otherwise it is more of a hin¬ 
drance than a help. As a general propo- 
|' sition the ordinary hunting sights are best. 
Also, for long distance target shooting 
the peep sight is best. 
E. E. H„ New York City: 
, I would like to know the average,pene¬ 
tration of the .22 rim fire cartridge, Short, 
Long, Long Rifle and Extra Lorig, the 
shocking ability of each, and the maximum 
distance at which each can be counted on 
for accuracy when used in a .22 revolver 
with 6-inch barrel. Also tell me what you 
can about cartridges for the .30 caliber! 
Luger Automatic Pistol. I have been using! 
a .22 pistol for small game and target 
practise and am surprised at the good 
j scores it makes. 
Ans.—The .22 Long Rifle is the best car¬ 
tridge for use in the revolver mentioned 
11 and a good holder or from muzzle rest 
should be able to make creditable targets 
at 100 yards well within an eight inch 
bullseve. At shorter ranges the accuracy 
would be considerably better. For instance, 
at 75 feet with .22 Short cartridges two 
inch groups and better should be made. 
The .22 Long is not as good as the Short 
or Long Rifle, but good targets should be 
made at 100 to 125 feet. The average pen¬ 
etration of each is about five %-inch pine 
boards. 
The ballistics of the Luger cartridge are 
weight of bullet 93 grains average muzzle 
I velocity 1,134 foot seconds, average muzzle 
energy 266 foot pounds, penetration at 20 
feet ten ^-inch pine boards.

NEWTON HIGH POWER RIFLES 
deliver a smashing blow anywhere along the line over the longest practical 
game-shooting ranges. The ammunition they use is not only of 3,000* f.s. velocity, 
but it has bullet weight enough to make it effective out where the game is. There 
is nothing else in its class for its calibers: 22, 256, 30 and .35. 
To see what a difference bullet weight makes in energy at long game shooting ranges, 
and in higher energy at the shorter ones, see the ballistics tables in our 148-page catalog, 
sent for stamp.

A Country of Fish and Game 
A Paradise for the Camper and Angler 
Ideal Canoe Trips 
The country traversed by the Reid Newfoundland Company’s system is exceedingly rich in all 
kinds of Fish and Game. All along the route of the Railway are streams famous for their Salmon 
and Trout fishing, also Caribou barrens. Americans who have been fishing and hunting in New¬ 
foundland say there is no other country in the world in which so good fishing and hunting can 
be secured and with such ease as in Newfoundland. Information, together with illustrated 
Booklet and Folder, cheerfully forwarded upon application to

Good Sport in the South 
On my large, old rice plantation ten miles from 
Georgetown, S. C., I have some of the finest shoot¬ 
ing for deer, turkeys, ducks, quail, rabbits, squirrels 
and snipe in this part of the South. The finest 
fishing, both fresh and salt water, on the coast. 
Private fresh water lake excellently stocked, few 
hundred feet from camp. Most exciting deer hunt¬ 
ing with well trained horses and hounds. A re¬ 
markably attractive locality for the visiting sports¬ 
men. I have a large plantation home overlooking 
the water and bungalows which I use as lodges for 
visiting sportsmen, and together with excellent 
Southern cooking I can promise you a long-to-be- 
remembered trip. 
Write at once and state when you can come, as 
I can take care of only a limited number and must 
know in advance. Send for booklet.
