The Army Rifle in Hunting

Something for sportsmen to consider
seriously, if they intend to got one of the
new 3O-caliber army rifles, is the great
penetration of the bullets. One of the
bullets would kill man through Il four
inch spruce tree. or Il COW mile and
more away. No ordinary tree can be de-
pended OIL to stop one of these bullets,
and it might easily travel half mile
through dense woods and hit man far
out of sight with deadly effect. Field
and Stream says that the next Legisla-
ture of our great game states should
pass law prohibiting the use of IL jack
eted bullet, because of the danger to
human beings. Another argument it
offers in, favor of such law will have
great influence ON the men who do not
wish to wound without killing the game
'"This class of bullets is useless for large
game unless soft-pointed.' it says. cas- it
rarely kills instantly, but allows the
game to die from internal hemorrhage,
and III terrible agony, out of reach
When such a rife is used for big game

ployed. The mrtshrooming bullet will
kill anything, as it goes clear through
IN elk, moose or deer, and the force
of the impact would knock u running

heavier breeds of sheep are best adapted

much too fat at all seasons of the year
