In writing to 
Western Tool & Copper Works of Oak- 
land, Calif. These bullets, however, 
are not furnished loaded, so if you wish 
to use them you must reload your own 
ammunition. This is a_pity, as these 
fine bullets should be furnished loaded 
so as to be available to everyone. 
Among the cartridges that have re- 
cently been developed are the .35 and 
.400 Whelen. These are simply Spring- 
field .30-.06 cases with larger necks, 
and using heavier bullets. They are 
fine cartridges for large game. The 
.35 Whelen shoots a 250 gr. Western 
Open Point Lubaloy bullet at 2,635 f. s. 
and 3,855 lbs. energy. The .400 Whelen 
shoots a 300 gr. bullet at 2,425 f. s. 
and gives 3,918 lbs. energy. These fig- 
ures are correct, while the figures given 
for some of the English Magnums are 
the English figures, and these are al- 
ways pretty high. Other rifles and cali- 
bers that are new in this country are 
these put out by Hoffman Arms Co. 
The .275 Magunm driving a 1438 gr. 
bullet at 3,000 f. s., or a 160 gr. bullet 
at 2,775 f. s. Also’a~.3875 and a .404 
Magnum using bullets weighing from 
235 gr. up to 400 grs. at velocities from 
2,150 f. s. to 2,820 f. s. There is also 
a .505 Gibbs for African game using 
a 525 gr. bullet at a vel. of 2,100 to 
2,300 f...s. 
To go back again to the .30-.06; the 
U .S. C. Co. have brought out a won- 
derful heavy game cartridge, it is the 
220 gr. bullet driven at 2,400 f. s. vel. 
This gives a trajectory practically equal 
to the high velocity loads with’ all the 
reliability of the 220 gr. bullet. It is 
a very fine practical hunting load. 
There are two cartridges that are 
not big game cartridges that I wish to 
mention, these are the .25-.20 and the 
.32-.20 Hi-Speed loads with bullet 
weights and velocities respectively, 60 
gr. 2,200 f. s., 80 gr. 2,000 f. s. (Savage 
make 2,300 and 2,100 f.s.) The energy 
of these loads is from 645 to 783 ft., 
lbs. and some are apt to conclude that 
these loads will do nicely for deer as 

the energies are as high as the old 
.82-.40, .38-40, and .44-40 deer loads. 
These loads are not suitable for any 
larger game than the standard .25-.20 
and .32-.20. loads, but they are much 
better killers.on such game as these 
cartridges are suited for, such as wood- 
chuck, fox, etc... One hunter who tried 
out these loads on woodchuck, said all 
his bullets stopped within the wood- 
chucks, so ‘you can see they would not 
have penetration enough for deer—that 
is for regular hunting of deer — of 
course a well-aimed shot would kill a 
deer.

A Unique Way to Land the 
Great Northern Pike 
(Continued from page 649) 
they got nearer we could see the long 
big fish, still game, but swimming right 
to his doom. 
All our efforts to capture the fish 
with the small net available were an 
utter failure and we doubted whether 
after all the fuss, but what it would 
finally prove a getaway after all. But 
the diversified talents of an Indian are 
not often a failue. So Pete asked 
Sammy in French, as they spoke very 
little English, to reel the fish alongside, 
which he did, and while the fish was 
still and motionless Pete gave the fish 
a crack between the eyes with the thin 
edge of his paddle to stun it and as 
quick as lightning placed his thumb 
and forefinger with a solid grip right 
in each eyeball and lifted the long, lithe 
pike right into the canoe, then plant- 
ing both .knees hard on the fish, 
_whipped out a keen sharp knife with 
which he severed the gills, cutting 
through the vetebrae, beheaded the 
beast in no time to the mutual satis- 
faction of angler and his guide. Though 
but 12% pounds weight it was a most 
unusually long fish and evidently a 
young one by its remarkable gamy be- 
haviour. Many anglers will say, “Why 
didn’t they shoot the brute?” How 
could they when nobody had a gun. 
Sammy was triumphant, even though 
his guide’s adroit skill did the trick.

been alarmed. 
When his exact position has been de- 
termined, it remains but to make the 
successful stalk and then when a deep, 
red-legged, purple-necked, 3-or-4-year- 
old gobbler tumbles down through a 
thick pine top or bounds from one 
“Bay” limb to another and_ slashes 
through a young cedar top and strikes 
the solid earth with his 18 or more 
pounds of dead weight, the happy 
hunter forgets cold fingers, wet, be-

past disappointments and is ready to 
whoop for the joy of living. A common 
method of hunting turkeys throughout | 
the southland is by “roosting” them. 
The hunter, late in the afternoon, re- 
pairing to the vicinity of the haunts 
of a drove of the birds and waiting un- 
til he hears them fly up into the trees 
for the night’s rest. On a still night 
the flop and flap may easily be distin- 
guished to a distance of from a quarter 
to half a mile. Should the night be 
clear, with good moon, the hunt may be
