LOADING A RIFLE.—The bullet should lever be so
large as to require much force to ram it down, nor yet
should it be too easy ; but, with its patch, it ought
to fit air tight, or it will not have the desired effect.
When a bullet happens to be so large as to require
hammering to force it down, draw it at once and throw
it away, as a bruised bullet will have ragged edges
which will cause it to be much impeded, as well as
thrown from its true direction, by the action of the air.
When you see any one hammering a bullet with
his ramrod you way safely set him down as be-
ing in perfect ignorance of the harm he is doing,
or indifferent as .te the result. If the bullet be too
small, its range will be less in consequence of a por-
tion of the power of the charge having been per-
mitted to escape in gas between the bullet and the
barrel ; its true direction will also be affected, either
vertically or horizontally, by its being made to lean
more to ono side of the barrel than another, in the
act of loading. Some riflemen weigh all their bullets
separately, and distinguish them into two or three
classes ; those of which the greater quantity are of
an equal weight, are reserved for fine shooting, and the
others are put by themselves for common practice. This
is a very good plan ; for otherwise, the very best aim
may prove at times of no avail, in consequence of some
hidden defect in the bullet ; for if a part be hollow, the
centre of gravity will not be in the line of the axis, and,
consequently, its true line of flight will be more or less
disturbed,—Hints ahing Rij Bug*,
