bullet is traveling well over 3,000 foot 
seconds. 
Bullets made square at both ends out- 
shoot pointed ones. Why on earth this 
happens I don’t know, except that 
square cylinder bullets are molded 
harder; both are of the same lot of 
Western lubaloy. 
At Niedners, on a machine rest, we 
shot a 49-grain bullet made by Kas- 
bollek, with 23 grains No. 18 Dupont, 
all bullets cutting into one hole at 50 
yards. My square-ended trials showed 
equal accuracy, shot from the shoulder 
with scope and muzzle rest. 
These smoky, melting bullets should 
“fry” a chuck as they go through, if 
they ever do. A crow explodes like an 
aerial bomb on July 4th—where his 
flesh goes I don’t know. Full metal- 
case bullets won’t shoot at all; for some 
reason they scatter all over paper with 
the same powder charge that is very 
accurate with soft points. I think 
that the soft point upsets and the hard 
one doesn’t till it starts off down the 
barrel at an angle with the bore center. 
This isn’t a practical rifle, but is mighty 
pleasant to shoot and shells don’t ever 
have to be resized; just stick the bul- 
lets in the neck with your fingers till 
the reamed shoulder stops them. They 
won’t fall out when carried loose in 
the pocket. I use a sealing tool, though, 
and my fingers can’t pull them out. 
The 16 twist causes bullets to keyhole if 
driven less than 2,800 velocity.

Six smashing shots 
at lightning speed 
No fumbling with the safety—one quick 
crook with your trigger finger as you bring your 
Savage to your shoulder. 
Crack—-your first shot! Then down with the 
lever like lightning—ejecting on the down stroke 
—reloading on the up stroke, smooth-gliding, 
positive action. 
Crack! Your second shot — within three 
seconds. And, if you need them, four shots 
more—every one right where you hold, too. 
For in the rotary magazine are four more soft 
point cartridges supported at the base—no 
chance to dent the soft noses—no battering 
from recoil. 
In every one of the Savage rifles—lever or 
bolt action—empty or loaded—you will find 
the same perfect balance. Not an extra ounce 
of weight in the trim, clean lines. Light to carry, 
quick to handle—shoot straight, hard and fast. 
Be sure to take a look at the new Sporter— 
ideal for small and medium game—now in three 
calibers—.22, .25-20 and .32-20. 
No matter what you hunt in America, you 
will find a Savage to meet your needs.
