FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 3 , 1910 . 
The same concussion which causes 
great recoil jams and disfigures the shot 
—makes a perfect pattern impossible. 
| is a powder of progressive combustion, 
j Shot stays absolutely round so you get the 
highest standard of pattern and penetration. 
Light recoil. Higher velocity for same 
size load. Will shoot farther. 
AI! the big loading companies use it. 
See that your shells are loaded with Dead 
Shot, the powder of 
guaranteed stability. 
Write us if your 
dealer hasn’t it and 
we'll refer you to one 
who has.
