these much more reliable than they | 
were a few years ago. Such cartridges 
as the 250-3000, .256 Newton, .30-.06, 
.300 Sav.'7mm. etc., are all furnished 
with several types of these new model 
bullets. No greater reliability of pene- 
tration is obtainable in the .30-.06 than 
with the 220 gr. bullet, but in every 
other respect the high velocity loads 
are superior. The most reliable load 
for any big game rifle is the heaviest 
bullet that that rifle will shoot accu- 
rately at a velocity of not more than 
2,500 f. s. Just the same, many well- 
informed sportsman after . carefully 
weighing all the disadvantages against 
their advantages choose the high velo- 
city loads—those giving velocities of 
2,700 to 3,000 f. s. and over. — 
At first all high velocity bullets were 
made with a thin jacket and a soft-ex- 
posed lead point, and these were the 
ones that were the most unreliable, and 
to which can be credited most of the 
failures. Now all the manufactures 
are putting out improved high velocity 
bullets, notable among these are the}, 
Western Open Point Lubaloy, with 
which the most of you are familiar. 
This bullet is much more reliable than 
the old type, for instance, in the .30-.06 
the 180 gr. O. P. at 2,700 f. s. comes 
next to the 220 gr. in reliability. 
The Peters Co. had a new bullet on 
the market last fall called the Pro- 
tected Point Expanding, in which the 
front end of the lead core is covered a 
short distance by a copper cup and in 
between this cup and the outside jacket 
fits the heavy hollow copper point. This 
bullet is of such solid construction that 
I have shot it into solid hemlock end- 
way at a velocity of 2,000 f. s. without 
its expanding, but when it is driven at 
the regular velocities it will expand 
perfectly even in soft game. I shot 
one of these Peters factory loads 250- 
3,000 P. P. Ex. (87 gr. bullet at 3,000 
f. s. )sideways through the head of a 
large beef at a distance of 15 ft. This 
was a severe test as at this close range 
any bullet would blow up much quicker 
and give less penetration than it would 
at 50 yds. or more, a head of a beef 
is no soft thing either. I have shot 
woodchucks with this same bullet at 
200 yds. and the bullet expanded well 
even when it hit in the “tummy.” 
Winchester, Remington, and the U. S. 
Cartridge Co. all furnish improved 
types of bullets in their highest veloc- 
ity cartridges. Although the Savage 
Co. make their bullets in the S. P. style 
they make the tough copper jacket 
heavy enough to hold together well. 
The jackets of their .300 bullets are
