Warning on Webleys
I read with interest the article on Webleys
in your May issue. As a GI in the Pacific
during World War 11, I blew a Webley open
trying to shoot .45 ACP cartridges in it. The
stirrup latch cracked through the bottom
of the rear sight "V," where the metal is
very thin.
As some gun dealers are selling old Web-
leys converted to ACP .45, a word of warn-
to our fay awareness of this situation. As
to what we are doing: GUNS editors are
carrying on an active campaign by mail,
telephone, telegraph, and personal discussion, ;
to enlist law makers and leaders of inter-;
ested groups in the war against existing and
proposed bad gun legislation. Technical
Editor Bill Edwards went to Washington, .
D.C., early in July to discuss firearms prob;.
lems with several interested Congressme
and his article (above mentioned) appea
in even longer form in Vol. 103, No. 124
the Congresswnal Record under date of July

-
ing might be warranted. My gun may have
been an old Mark IV made for black pow-
der. I t was a round butt with 4" barrel,
either Mark IV or V. Since the Mark V was
the first made for nitro powder, a few words
should be included to enable the non-expert
to distinguish between the Mark IV and
Mark V. The Mark VI is easily identified
"^ by its square butt. .
15, 1957. As to what you can do: read
Edwards' article in September GUNS or in
the Congressional Record. Know your rights;
know the facts about gun legislation and the
interpretation of gun laws, pro and con.
Then tell your representatives in your state
and federal governments what you, as a
voter, want them to do in the maintenanc
of those rights. Do it now! -Editors.

Law Without Legality
As a subscriber to your good magazine, I
am writing to you to find out if you are
aware of the recent announcement of the
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax Division of the
Internal Revenue Service that it intended to
"change" the regulations of the Federal Fire-
arms Act. Of course, these "changes" turn
out to be a drastic and vicious tightening of
this act far beyond anything contained in
the act itself, such as entering premises for
search and seizure without a warrant or
Wants Cartridge Collector
Department
I want to let you know how much I ap-
preciated the article (July '57 issue) by
Ruth C. Douglas . . . entitled "Guns are
our Protectors." We need more like this!
I have written the NRA requesting that they
arrange with you to have this article re-
printed in the "Rifleman." I t should be
reprinted also in magazines such as "Ladies
Home Journal" and other publications where
it will meet the attention of the non-shooting
gun-shy public.
I find that you have not included the Car-
tridges for Collectors articles in GUNSmaga-
zine since Nov., 1956. I would like to see
this department reinstated.

tares. I n effect, this power-greedy bureau is
writing its own law to supersede that of the
Congress.
Perhaps I should draw your attention to
the fact that this dangerous action, and
others more and more restrictive that may
logically be expected to follow in due time
constitute not only a serious threat to shoot-
ers but to patriotic citizens as well; and that
this time, they are not emanating from the
'
crackpots and members of the lunatic fringe
but from the henchmen of the administration
itself.
What can be done about this situation?

The article, "Why Not a PRO-gun Law?"
by GUNS Technical Editor Bill Edwards in
Guns Are Our Heritage
I wish to thank you and your staff for
many hours of enjoyable reading. I am a
very ardent gun fan; have been one ever
since I fired my first single-shot rifle. I
now have many types of arms and have
enjoyed shooting and tinkering with my
guns.
I am in complete accord with a letter -in
Crossfire titled, "It's a Right, Not a Privi-
lege." I t seems to me that every time you
turn around, some legislator or Senator or
some official is trying to put a ban on the
use of guns. I believe that guns are a
heritage of ours that should be held in high
recognition. They helped make this country
what it is today, a free country. They also
help to prevent a foreign government from
trying to take us over by force.

RELOADING THE .44
MAGNUM
T HE .44 Magnum is not only our most
powerful handgun cartridge; it is also
one of the finest six-gun cartridges ever pro-
duced for the hand-loader. The case is of
solid head construction and is .1 inch longer
than the .44 Special, or the same length as
the .357 Magnum brass. This .44 Magnum
case however is of much heavier material
and has the thickest side walls of any re-
volver case I have ever reloaded.
The factory load produces plenty of power
and pressure. For best results I believe that
the hand-loader should stick to pressures and
velocities slightly under the factory load.
The factory load must develop around 40,000
to 42,000 pounds pressure, but the Smith &
Wesson .44 Magnum revolver will handle it,
and so will the Ruger Blackhawk for the
same cartridge. Both guns are superbly ac-
curate and fine examples of six-gun building.
The Remington factory, which developed
the .44 Magnum cartridge, has every facility
for checking pressures and velocities and
their ballisticians know exactly what they
are doing and what these guns will stand.
The hand-loader-with only a bench tool,
components, and steel and other penetration
tests, as well as only the case and primer, for
pressure indications-can very well leave the
top loading of this fine cartridge to the fac-
tory. They alone are equipped to load it to
such high velocity and pressures safely. This
does not mean that he cannot safely make up
much more powerful hand loads than he has
ever used before, but we believe it well to
leave the top-bracket loads in the hands of
- the factory.
The new cartridge can be handloaded with
.44 Special dies, as the .44 Special case-sizing
B o t h h i s o w n bullet (left) a n d f a c t o r y .44 M a g n u m loads w e r e t e s t e d by K e i t h w h o

die will reform the big magnum case back as
far as i t expands nicely. However, the fact
that .44 Magnum brass is much thicker than
.44 Special brass, necessitates that expand-
ing plugs be turned down to about .423" to
.424" so that the case will not be expanded
again after being resized. The factory bullet
is not a gas check but a part jacket and has
a very thin jacket that covers the base band
and also the lower grease groove. This en-
ables Remington to use the soft lead bullet
so necessary to their extrusion and swedging
machines and still hold the rifling at high
velocity and give very fine accuracy. In re-
loading, one is far better off with a cast
bullet of one part tin to 16 parts lead. Then
no jacket is needed. Bullets should be sized
exact groove diameter. My Smith & Wesson,
the first one sent out from the factory, has
a groove diameter of .429" and we have
heard of some going .430" and one .43lV.
The factory slug mikes .431".
The factory bullet is a modification of one
of my designs and I have also found my Ideal
bullet No. 429421 in 250 grain solid or 235
grain hollow-point, or hollow base, to be the
best for reloading this cartridge. Both Smith
& Wesson and Ruger cylinders are a full
1%" long, and both will take the long mag-
num case with the Keith bullet properly
seated with one band out of the case and
well crimped in the bevelled crimping groove.
So loaded, this bullet is superbly accurate
with any load, .from a light target load of 5
grains Bullseye, or a heavier target load of
8.5 grains of Unique, or our heaviest load
of 22 grains of 2400 Hercules.
The factory load we pulled down contained
22.2 grains of a powder that looks and seems
very similar in characteristics to Hercules
2400 but is possibly a powder made by

By BYRON W. DALRYMPLE
Twoodcock the likes
HREE SEASONSAGO,two friends and stumbled upon a gathering of flight
1
of which I hardly dare to hope I'll ever again. They
see
were in a brushy flat paralleling a north-Michigan trout stream. We walked
half a mile and had over a hundred birds in the air, sometimes as many as
four and five at once. Anyone who has ever shot woodcock will realize that
this was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.
The shooting, however, was strictly routine. My two hunting buddies, who
have spent most of their adult lives at gun sports, collected several bushels
of alder leaves, a number of poplar saplings, a lot of sky-and two woodcock.
It was a horrible exhibition. Yet the& same hunters can and do kill ruffed
grouse, pheasants, or ducks regularly and with precision. .
 . -A- - J

Many sportsmen prefer the quick shots of a double, side-by-

side or over-under. for woodcock, but author says guns may
range from "21" quality to inex&nsive H & R single (right).

Elusive woodcock were first flushed by black cocker spaniel whose thick coat allows him to plunge into
underbrush when he scents a bird. Experienced hunters know value of gun dogs for upland shooting.
, . "Why?" I asked, showing them my own birds.
They were annoyed with me. "Everybody knows wood-
cock are tough targets," they told me. "You were just
luckv."
That experience emphasizes two ~ o p u l a rmisconceptions
about woodcock. First, note the place where this con-
centration of birds was found. This was Michigan. Yet
shotgunning lore, whether written or spoken, indicates
that the woodcock is a variety of wild poultry numerous
only in the east, in New England and Pennsylvania.
Second, and in spite of the shouts of rage this state-
ment will bring forth from woodcock hunters, the wood-
cock is not really a difficult target for the gunner. He is,
in fact, an easy target. He is simply a bird wrapped up
in the almost impregnable armor of a legend. The legend
says he's tough to hit, and hunters believe it. With
the result that even experienced gunners, when they find
themselves facing the flying "timberdoodles," shoot like
novices.
Let's take these two misconceptions in the order in
which they were stated. The fact that the Great Lakes
country is a woodcocker's paradise is important because
it puts a new and fabulous variety of field shooting within
hunting-trip reach of hundreds of thousands of hunters a

who never knew it was there. New England, New York,

and Pennsylvania have long been known as "woodcock
country" because of the flights that pass over these areas
from the breeding grounds in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. But there is a tremendous woodcock breed-
ing reservoir also in Ontario directly north of Lakes
Huron, Michigan, and Superior from which great flocks
migrate annually southward across the Great Lakes
country. The two peninsulas of Michigan lie in the very
center of this migration route, and more woodcock are
harvested each Fall in Michigan than in any other state
-sometimes more than in several of the eastern wood-
cock states combined. Woodcock shooting in this region
matches or excels any I have ever seen, and I am no
stranger to the eastern coverts.
So much for where to find them. The next question
is, how to hit them.
What is astonishing is not so much the ingrained belief
that woodcock are difficult, or the fact that hunters do
miss them, but why. The plain truth is, probably no game
bird on earth is easier to topple. Fundamental blame for
the gunner's failure to do so lies mainly in the following "Easy to shoot" woodcock perch-
situation. Almost every wingshot has the solid conviction, es atop nest, was shot by tele-
photo lens, but hunter finds bet-
gained from endless repetition of the usual woodcock ter shooting sliding two shells
malarky, that this bird is a (Continued on page 40) through pump for Uffh doubles.

NOR DO GOOD HUNTERS MAKE LONG SHOTS, IF THEY CAN HELP IT.
ACCURATE RANGE ESTIMATION MEANS CLEAN KILLS, BETTER SPORTSMANSHIP

By CLIFTON CAMP

f in the United States at which any man should ever find it

necessary to shoot at any range much over 300 yards-
and not many men have any right, if they consider them-
selves sportsmen, to shoot at any game animal at much
more than half that distance! Varmints? That's different.
But if you must pamper your ego by placing a bullet on a
mark at fantastic ranges, let it be at varmints or at an
inanimate target. Long-range hits on game may prove that
you're a marksman, that you have a fine rifle and know
how to use it; but they don't prove that you're a hunter.
The hunter is the man who can (and does) get close enough
to game to kill it cleanly, without much worry about slide-
rule ballistics. He is like the expert pool player who "never
leaves himself a hard shot." He puts himself in such posi-
tion that the shot is easy.
You want to know how far is far, for you?
There's a little bet I like to offer when groups of men
get together to talk about hunting. It's a funny thing: no
fisherman ever tells about catching a small fish, and no
hunter ever confesses killing deer at less than 200 yards.
So I'll offer to bet the crowd, each man individually, that
he can't put two consecutive bullets out of his pet rifle into
a 12-inch circle at 200 yards, firing offhand, both shots
within ten seconds. Twelve inches being a fair to generous
estimate of the lethal target on most American big game
animals, this seems to me to be a fair proposal.
Sure, I'd lose to you; you're a dead-eye marksman. But
do you want to bet that I wouldn't win from ten out of
twelve "average" hunters? And if I win, that proves that
those ten out of twelve average hunters are not being good
sportsmen if they take 200-yard offhand standing shots at
game. (And I'm talking now about still targets only. We'll
come to running game later.)
So what should these ten out of twelve hunters do? Well,
if they feel that they just must shoot at such ranges-they'd
be wrong, of course; 90 per cent of the deer killed on this
continent are killed a t much shorter ranges-they can prac-
tice until they can hit at those ranges, under hunting
conditions.
But suppose the person hasn't the time or the inclination
to do that much shooting. If he still wants to hunt, let him
try this same test from progressively shorter ranges until
he arrives at the distance from which he can put his shots
inside the lethal target. That distance may be 100 yards,
or 150, or 50Ñan you'd be surprised how many week-end
hunters will fall into that last category! Whatever it is,
let him fix that distance in his mind and swear "so help
him" never to shoot at any game animal beyond that dis-
tance. If he keeps that vow, he's a sportsman. And what is
even more important, he'll get more fun out of hunting.
He can enjoy sighting game at long ranges without feeling
that old pressure to shoot at targets he knows in his heart
he can't hit properly; and he will learn the thrills of
stalking. The fun of hunting is not in killing but in the
chase, in out-smarting a wily opponent.
"But," you say, "What about running targets?
In my opinion, not one man in a thousand has any right,
as a sportsman, to fire at a running big game animal at any
range much beyond that at which he could unfailing hit the
same target with a pebble.
Extreme ranges indicated
by military leaf sight at
left are strictly for blan-
keting fire, not for game-
killing accuracy. 200 yard
leaf on snorter at right is
r-
a realistic hunting range.
Do you want to know what your limit of sportsmanlikb
range is at a running deer? Take a two-quart can and
have a friend roll it down a steep slope across your field of
fire. Try it at varying ranges. If it bounces, so does a buck.
I
If it swerves, so may he. When you find the range at which i
!
you can invariably hit that target, you have the range at
which you can sportingly shoot at running game having a
lethal area equal to the size of that can.
Before you scream too loudly at these statements, con-
sider this question: If you agree, as all sportsmen do agree,
that it's a dirty trick to leave wounded game to die in the
woods, isn't it a dirty trick to shoot at game you can't be
pretty sure you can kill cleanly? You haven't the excuse
of hunger; you're out for fun. Let's keep it clean.
"But what about us guys," you say, "who sit tight watch-
ing a trail or a game passway-us guys with good scope-
sighted rifles which we can shoot pretty darn well, who
shoot at standing or slow-moving targets, from sitting or
kneeling positions or from a rest?"
Your maximum range may be 20 yards, 250, 300Ñor
I'll admit, even farther. But just as in the cases previously
mentioned, it is the maximum distance at which you can
make sure, clean, one-shot kills. But before you start
dreaming of 500 or 600 yard kills, how good are you at
range estimation? How accurately can you gage the dis-
tance between you and your (Continued on page 50)

that I see that I like. When I buy a
new gun I have to plan ahead very
carefully. Hunting on a budget is like
doing anything else on a budget: it
requires caution and common sense to
keep the budget from getting out of
balance.
Let's start off with my pair of Mar-
lin Model 90 over-under shotguns. I
have a 12 gauge Model 90-ST, and a
20 gauge Model 90-DT.The 12 gauge
has 28 inch full choke and modified

modified and improved cylinder bar-
rels.

ing the Marlin brand. I simply got a

a pair of them. They are well made
substantial guns, and they perform
beautifully. Their recoil is light in
comparison to m o s t side-by-side
doubles, and they handle rifled slug
loads more accurately than the side-
by-side doubles when used for big
game hunting. Like some guns of other
makes, these are "a lot of gun for the
money ."
My four guns represent an invest-
ment of around $340.00. My ,22 auto-
loader is equipped with a B-6 Weaver
scope, and recently I installed a
Weaver K2.5 scope on my .30-30. The
total cost is still under $400.00 for the
four guns. The varmint rifle, complete
with scope, when and if I get it, will
shove my total investment in guns up
to $500.00 or just a little over, depend-
ing on the scope I choose. In my esti-

THE ANSWER?
By JOHNNY MOCK

THE MANAGEMENT PROVIDES THE BIRDS, YOU

PAY AS YOU HUNT. IS THIS GOODÑO I S IT UNSPORTING?
 HEW ARE PEOPLE in this country-people who should know the subject-
w h o say that the day of free hunting in America is ending. Certainly the
hunting scene is changing with each season that passes; changing more rapidly
than most hunters believe.
We are all aware of the long-range changes. We know the story of the pas-
senger pigeon, whose flights once darkened our skies with day-long curtains of
countless millions of wings. The passenger pigeon is gone. We know the story
of the buffalo, once also numbered high in the millions, now gone except for
small, well-guarded herds. But are we equally aware of the rapid effects of our
changing economy on wildlife today, on hunting as we know it? Thickening
population, expanding and more intensive fanning, the draining of swamps and
the control of rivers, and the mushroom growth of new housing communities
are destroying waterfowl feeding grounds, replacing game coverts with lawns
and concrete, driving game back and back into the few remaining zones of safety.
Hunters are aware of the increasing "No Hunting" resistance of farmers and

property owners against the man with the gun. Many are indignant *
about it. It is an ancient American concept that game belongs to us '
all- against the even older European concept that it belongs to the
owner of the land on which it is found. Our law supports our con-
tention that game is in the public domain; but it supports also the
equally basic belief that an owner of property has inalienable rights
to defend that property against trespass. And this includes farmers
who own land over which "our" game uses. It is only through
the generous (and rather amazing) tolerance of farmers and land-
owners generally that hunting has continued to be as free as it is.
. .
But that tolerance is dwindling . and with cause.
There is no real reason why a landowner should welcome armed
invasion of his land by any stranger who buys a hunting license.

shoot his stock, leave his gates open, use weapons carelessly near
his home and family. Who can blame him? True, we are not
all guilty of these offenses; but enough of us are guilty to justify
the fears of the farmer; and the innocent suffer with the guilty.
Yet hunting must go on, not only for the benefit of the hunter
but for the support of the wildlife conservation agencies which
are fighting hard and well to maintain this important and color-
ful segment of our national heritage.
Times change, and perhaps free shooting must be replaced
by fee shooting-by hunting over controlled game preserves
commercially managed as game-raising and game-havesting
businesses. Provided these businesses are well managed, there
is not much difference, after all, between these and the con-
trolled hunts staged on federal or state preserves by conservation
agencies. There is not much difference in the fee, for many of

It was an altogether leasa ant situation, I reflected. We
had splashed across the Da-Dung directly after daylight
to prowl the river's lower reaches. The country was only
gently mountainous. It was wooded, but not thick, and the
grass was only hock-high. Wet grass and water dripping
from the trees, plus a gentle steady drizzle, provided a sort
of air-conditioning against the heat. And we were on a hot
trail. Very soon after crossing the river; Nhon had cut the
track of an old banteng bull, one of those oldsters who,
whether by natural temperament or because they are driven
away from their herds by younger bulls, range by them-

selves, growing crustier with the years, nursing tempers that
are forever evil. According to Nhon, this one was very
close, if not very big; a banteng bull, distant relative to
the African Cape buffalo, big game in any language, and
game practically unknown to American sportsmen. This
was a trophy I wanted!
Minutes later, we hauled up hard at the foot of a gentle
slope, rock-strewn and sparsely grassed. Here and there,
trees limited vision to a couple of hundred yards. The
sign pointed toward the crest so upward we moved, not
hurrying, although the track was so plain now that we
could have broken into a dog trot. The old bull had joined
with others here, and we were on a banteng highway.
I poked my head above the ridge and there, bore-sighting
me, were eight or ten of the most poisonous looking crit-
ters I have ever seen. Every eye was on me. Every head
was turned in my direction, each muzzle upraised and pointed like a
cocked pistol. Blacker than the imps of hell, statuesque and immobile,
they loomed as large against the verdant jungle as so many M-48 tanks.
It seemed to me that the critters, unafraid, teetered on the edge of
decision, whether to charge me, stand boldly, or run. And it didn't
seem likely that they would run.
I had traveled ten thousand miles for this meeting and, while I was
uncertain about the agenda for the session as drawn up by the
banteng, mine had long since been thought out. In the space of a
couple of seconds, I selected the biggest bull. He had very con-
siderately arranged himself so as to give me a quartering silhouette,
and I proceeded to lace 400 grains of metal into the point of his
shoulder. The range was 30 yards.
The bull went down. But he came up again just as rapidly, and
running. I delivered another two-bits worth of lead, and again Both hunters scored on this gaur, with As-

That wound his clock. The gunning from first shot to last had

The gun was my .450-400, a lever action M71, rechambered and re-

lion sportsmen. If these shooting men represent an average cross
section of our population, then we may assume that more than one
million of these Americans are left handed. But the only truly potent
"standard" weapons suitable for African and Asian game are bolt
action, with bolt-handles on the right for right-handers only. Seems
to me that the manufacturers are missing a whale of a big market
in not providing left handled guns for these southpaw shooting men.
Anyway, it was this situation which persuaded me to select a wildcat
lever-action rifle, the first I have ever used on really big game. It is not
a long range arm, but I did not expect it to be. I am a strong believer in

a sportsman in the truest sense of the word, who would never bellyache
about the weather, his equipment, or the apparent scarcity of game, but would
concentrate on overcoming these obstacles and making the hunt a success?
In the old West, "He'll do to ride the river with" was high praise, describing
man with courage, loyalty, and a sense of humor that would carry him through
all sorts of hardships and difficulties. "He'll do to hunt with" has the same
meaning. Your hunting partner should be able to laugh when things go wrong,
when the game escapes, as it sometimes does, when blankets are wet and fires
won't light, or even when you tell a joke he's heard before.
Handling a gun safely and efficiently would be practically second nature
to this ideal hunting companion. You would never find yourself gazing down
the barrel of his gun while he nervously fumbled with the safety or trigger.

Are you saying, "There ain't no such animal?" You're
not far from right. We've all looked for such a partner;
some have found him and some haven't. Yet some of
these qualities are not only desirable but actually essen-
tial, and I made up my mind a long time ago that my
hunting buddy would have them, or I would hunt alone.
I have been on several lonely hunting trips. I got game,
but there was something missing. There was no sharing.
Without this sharing a hunt loses half its savor, perhaps
more. So I kept looking. And it paid big dividends.
I now have such a hunting partner, though it has re-
quired the passage of years and the investment of a great
deal of thought and care and work. You see, my hunting

one small boy, brimming over with the energy, enthusi-
asm, and love of the outdoors that is typical of the species.
Add years of thought and loving pidance, and you will
have a hunting companion beyond compare.
My particular small boy is named Larry, and he is 8%
years old and weighs 62% pounds. If you don't think
those half figures are important, just ask him his weight
or age. He has been hunting with the .22 rifle since he
was about five years old, always with me, of course, and
with strict supervision.
Last year he broke-in on the shotgun, and is now look-
, ing forward to the next hunting season with as much antic-
ipation as I am. Fast flying doves proved a little too much
for him, but he killed a few ducks last year and he knows
he will get a whole bunch next season.

Converting a .22 rim-fire rifle to fit a small boy is fairly simple, but making
a 20 gauge shotgun and a .30-30 rifle suitable for his use is something else
again. With the .22 you merely cut off and bell the barrel and cut the stock
to fit. Incidentally, anyone who thinks that this will ruin the barrel is mis-
taken. I often use the one I fixed for Larry, and have found no loss of
accuracy.
But converting a 20 gauge shotgun so that it will be pleasant for a 62%
pound boy to shoot it is another problem. Most shotgunners know that the
sharp kick of a light 20 is often as punishing as that of a 12; and bruising"
a small boy's shoulder is no way to hake him love the weapon or shoot well
with it.

Brush-popping nimrods, intent on outwitting the wily,
skittish, and elusive whitetail, need no far-carrying arsenal.
Since most if not all of their shots will be at close ranges,
usually under a hundred yards, they do not have to worry
about muzzle velocity and flat trajectory. A bullet that will
cut brush without too much deflection is more important
than an extra hundred yards of reach.
When banging away at the fantails of south Texas, my
"old reliable" Model 1894 Winchester .30-30 is adequate
to nearly every situation. Back before the days of stricter
rules and regulations, a shotgun loaded with No. 0 buck-
shot backed by a thimbleful of black powder, was the
common choice in that country-which re-proves the point
about short killing ranges.
But when I started tramping the mountains of the West

THE OLD THE NEW THE UNUSUAL
"THE LE PAGE MOUTIER Grevy-Gonzales double." The
words are as full of meaning as the gun itself is replete
with beauty. Made by Le Page Moutier in France in 1860,
this double barreled cap and ball fowling piece was pre-
sented i n 1879 by M. Paul Jules Grevy, then president of
France, to Don Emanuel Gonzales, then president of Mexi-
co, perhaps as a token of good will between the new regimes
of countries long filled with bitter hatreds. France, in the
late 1860's, had supported the Austrian Duke Maximilian
in his usurpation of the throne of Mexico. Throughout
Maximilian's brief reign, until the Juarez revolution,
French guns supported the usurper and inspired grim
Mexican resentment. So it was dramatically fitting that,
with the fall of Napoleon's Third Empire and the rise of

the French Republic, a gun should be the symbol of peace
between the two countries.
The gun itself is a masterpiece of the gunmaking arts,
probably one of the most valuable firearms in the world
today. Its locks are sculptured in the round. Each hammer
(called chien, dog, in French) is carved from solid steel
in the shape of a dog. The percussion bolsters are carved-
steel foxes. As the hammers fall, the dogs seem to be snap-
ping at the foxes' throats.
The trigger guard is a pheasant feeding on an acorn. A
portrait of President Grevy is carved in steel on the fore-
stock. The wood is ebony, worked with heavy vine scrolling.
The Le Page can be seen today in the fabulous col-
lection at Harold's Club in Reno, Nevada. lm

rhat "there were pheasants here yesterday."
More professional arrangements are the
"farms" on which a game breeder sets up his
own shooting preserve and charges a fee for
the right to hunt. Each hunter must have the
regular state license, although the seasons
are not necessarily limited to those estab-
lished elsewhere in the state.
The managed game farm can be a bonanza
in both cash and sport. Otherwise untillable
land can, by shrewd planning, be converted
into a wilderness of second growth and
hedgerows, ideal covert for all kinds of game
birds. Pen-raised pheasants are not signifi-
cantly different in their raising from chickens
or other domestic fowl. But when they have
been launched on their career of freedom
and scuttle down some shady lane to disap-
pear in a cluster of laurel or aspen, they be-
come as wild as the wildest.
HERE is some basis for the charge of "un-
T sportsmanlike shooting" against private
game preserves. Just as some hunters have
fouled the nest of "free" shooting, so some
preserve managements have fouled the name
of "fee" shooting. But we don't condemn the
entire automobile industry because a few
used-car dealers handle stolen cars. Private
game management can, and in most cases
does adhere just as closely to rules of ethics
as does other private business. It must do
this if it is to succeed, and the game breeder
is just as concerned about his investment and
his future as is any other business man.
How does it work? Well, in a typical in-
stance, a city executive calls a shooting pre-
serve, agrees to pay a stated fee (possibly
825.00) for a morning or afternoon of shoot-
ing. He can bring his own dog or dogs, or
the management will furnish dogs and a
handler, usually at no extra cost. The shooter
is guaranteed a stated number of reasonably
good shots at birds. If he misses, that's his

who can spend only a limited number of
hours at the sport, prefer this type of hunt-
ing because they do get some shooting. As
to sportsmanship, the birds "handle" to dogs
exactly the same as wild-bred birds; they fly i
just as fast, are exactly as hard to hit. Fewer
cripples are left, because trained dogs and
trained handlers find them.

states require that a certain percentage of
birds bred must be released as free stock, in
addition to those that escape the fee shooters.
Pennsylvania, for example, taxes the breeder
one pheasant out of each four grown-with
the result that the "free" hunter is also
benefitting, directly as well as indirectly,
from the fee shooting in his area.

woodcock as much as three times. The wood-
cock has greater wing area in proportion to
weight than any other game bird except
jacksnipe and doves, which are about com-
parable. The wings and the heart are both
larger than those of the grouse, because

will surprise you. Dry shooting in this
fashion, you will see that this bird is no
"phantom,"no impossible target, you'll won-
der why you ever missed him.
I'll tell you why. In this dry shooting,
you're not all a-jitter with excitement. And
you are selecting birds already aloft, in the
open. Thus you are laying the groundwork
 for learning something more. For when you
, hunt them, they flush and rise.
Because they are birds ordinarily found in
rather high overhead shrub and mixed small-
tree cover, yet migratory birds with long
wings designed for open flying, their in-
stinctive tendency is to get quickly up out
of the brush, where those long wings can be
used to full advantage. The short-winged
grouse would simply hurtle through the cover
horizontally. The woodcock-watch him and
you will see-bumps into things getting up
and out. He can't help it. He goes up to get
above so his long wings will clear.
And so the shooter has two problems:
the brush (which, psychologically at least,
bothers both your eye and your swing)-
and the steep rise of the bird. You have to
swing fast and steep to get above him. ...
These factors, plus the distracting whistle
of those long flapping wings, plus the buzzing,
half-tumbling manner of flight, make the
flight pattern, which is actually perfectly
straight, seem terribly complicated and
"crazy." The whole basic trouble, how-
ever, is in the shooter's own head. It is a
case of letting a lot of unimportant distrac-
tions hide the real problem. Once you un-
derstand the problem, the solution is easy.
But there is something else the stick
shooter will discover; and it, too, has a very
important bearing on the misses. These little
devils are going plenty fast! And that is
odd, because they aren't supposed to. You
have probably seen those popular charts
showing comparative game-bird speeds (most
of which, incidentally, are utter nonsense).
You have learned from them how fast the
grouse and pheasant fly, how lazily the
woodcock lilts along.
Don't you believe it! A woodcock can
get off the ground as fast as any grouse,
much faster than a pheasant or duck. He
can give a quail odds, too. And when he is
jumpy so that he flushes and flies wild, his
speed over the first 30 to 50 yards will match
any of these. The "slow" woodcock does
exist on occasion, but he is usually a prod-
uct of faulty or not enough observation
hastily reported.
s
o WHAT'S the answer? The weight-to-wing
spread ratio allows the woodcock to
shoot up and drop down like a helicopter.
The brush deludes the shooter into thinking
he must rush his shot. He has the idea
preset in his head that the bird is a slow
flyer and yet a tough target because he is
a crazy flyer. And so, somewhere between
the rushed shots, the lack of long-enough
lead and fast-enough or smooth-enoueh
swing, the inhibition against ohooting while
still swinging because of cramped quarters,
the improper estimation of pitch both goine
un and coming down-somewhere among all
these lie the misses.
Oncethe hunter knows this, he has the
answer in sight. It starts with confidence
and deliberation born of a realization of
how much hokum has long attached. to
woodcock shooting. But that in itself won't
automatically effect a cure. The answer
that gets the job done is one that makes a
real hunter squirm, because it costs good
shooting time. But I can guarantee from
seeing it tried that it is surefire. Here it is.
Go woodcock hunting, with a partner (to
create an atmosphere of competition)-but
no gun. Each time a woodcock flushes,
watch it. Observe every detail of i t s flight,
keeping in mind just what you would do,
now that you know all the things you didn't
know before. Note how much time there
would be to do it if you had a gun.
Next time out, take a partner-and take -
a gun. But leave your shells at home. Now UNDERWEAR
each time a woodcock flushes, point it out.
You know, of course, that you cannot possibly
kill the bird, so haste and excitement are
excluded. Oddly, you will find that you no
longer see the brush, or feel cramped by it.
See how much time there really is? See
how easy it is to get "on" and stay "on"?
Speed and pitch and flight line can now be
appraised with a clear head and they all
come into easy focus. The hokum evaporates.
Inhibitions based upon it fade.
On the third go, load the gun and make

30-06 soft-point expanding bullets. More
tests however, would be necessary to prove
the point.
On steel penetration tests, which are a
very good criterion of velocity, the factory
.44 Magnum clearly showed a bit more pene-
tration than our hand load. We are perfectly
content to leave it that way and believe it
would require at least 23 grains of 2400 to
equal the factory load. We prefer to stay
under the factory load in pressure and velo-
city for safety. Tests were run with the 6 W
barrel and we would expect some 80 feet
less velocity from a 4" barrel.
Bullets from a 4" gun, however, might eas-
ily penetrate just as well in tough old bull
heads, since the slightly lower velocity should
cause less deformation and mushrooming of
the bullet. On steel penetration the 6%" bar-
rel will of course show the deeper penetration.
We have found the R.C.B.S. three-die set,
to be one of the best for reloading the 44
Magnum. The first die perfectly resizes the
case. The second re- and deaaps, expands
the case to uniform inside diameter, and
very slightly bells the mouth of case, so the
bullet will start without shaving. The third
die perfectly seats the bullet friction tight
and forms a good heavy crimp in the bevelled
crimping groove on my bullet. No leading
has occurred in my gun from any of these
loads or from the factory load. Recoil with
my load of 22 grains 2400 and 250 grain
bullet, is rather less than the factory load.
The case is the finest six-gun case I have
ever reloaded and I have long been partial

 Stripes. Van Chi is an elephant and gaur
. man. The night before we reached his camp
he had trapped a tiger and, disdaining to
dispatch it himself, sent a Moi to kill the
beast with a rusty old 8 mm. Mauser. This
delighted the Moi, since it gave him an
opportunity to even scores with his dread
enemy. Tiger take a fearful annual toll of
the hill people.
Tiger shooting is a business to tax the
patience, and considerably less hair-raising
than many writers have painted it. It is
generally a matter of building a mirador
and squatting within the leafy bower for
hours on end, never moving eyes glued to
the rotting sambhar carcass which is used
as bait. The shot, if the tiger comes, is at
predetermined range, usually about 30 feet.
Frequently a 12 gauge scattergun charged
with 00 buckshot will do the business. Ngo
Van Chi shortcuts all this by setting traps.
But no one low-rates the gaur as a sport-
ing target. The French professional, A.
Plas, in his book, "La Grandes Chases en
Indochine," has this to gay about the gaur:
"He is the biggest and most ferocious of the
bovines inhabiting our Indo-China forests.
The males especially grow to enormous
stature and weight, and altho I never had
the opportunity of weighing one, I have a
strong impression that certain male speci-
mens weigh at a minimum 1200 kg (2640
lbs.). Seen at close range in the forest the
beast has in highest degree a ferocious and
savage appearance especially in the male
. wounded he is extremely dangerous."
Next day, we hauled up in the very middle
of a Moi rice field and beckoned the only
villager in sight over to the jeep. His an-
swers to our questions piled us out of the
vehicle on the double. There, directly be-

It was raining, but no rain could bank the

venerable bull who had pulled off by him-

poisonous disposition, and grow a handsome
set of those wicked black horns. Here was
a brand of excitement calculated to stir the
gastric juices and prickle the adrenal.
We followed through a low saddle, the
ground rocky and noisy underfoot despite
the rain. Down the far side we worked our
way into a second meadow where the grass

is no sign that other brands of gun3 do not
come within the average sportsman's budget.
Many, including myself, like to stick to one
brand, and this is not a bad idea where such
is possible. The Remington people are now
W/V SHOTGUN CLEANER & OILER
coming along with the "matched set" idea.
In other words, they recommend a shot-
gun, .22 rifle, and big game rifle all of the
same type of action. The most perfectly
matched set so far is their Model 572 re-
peating .22 rifle, Model 760 high power rifle,
and Model 870 repeating shotgun. And I
have an idea, if the "matched set" idea goes
over as well as I think it will, that the
Remington folks will soon add more var-
mint calibers to their Model 760.
Without scopes on either of the rifles, this
matched set of Remingtons (all pump action
repeaters with very similar designs) retails

mechanical reliability, and excellent killing
power are the main features behind the
popularity of pump action repeaters.
And here is another "matched set" idea
in auto-loaders for those that prefer this
type of gun. I believe that the Winchester
people have so far done the best job here.
WINCHESTER
T HE Model 50 auto-loading
shotgun is the starter. Add to it a Model
77 Winchester auto-loading.22 rifle, and a
Model 88 high power rifle, and you have a
nifty matched set of Winchesters. The Ugh
power comes in .308,358, and .243 calibers,
and the Model 50 shotgun in 12 and 20
gauges. A three-piece set here (without
scopes for rifles) will cost around $300.00,
and this does not include an extra barrel
for the shotgun. With good scopes for both
rifles, plus an extra barrel or choking de-
vice (Poly-Choke or Cutts Compensator)
for the shotgun, the total price will run
near (400.00.
The main thing we are trying to do in this
piece is to get the average hunting sports-
man well equipped with guns for $500.00
or less, preferably less. Above $500.00 can
be, often is, beyond the average sportsman's
budget.
Some may choose a mixed-brand collec-
tion, and this is entirely all right if one
prefers it that way. Start off with maybe an
Ithaca "Featherlight" repeating (pump)
shotgun, then add a Browning ok Mossberg
.22 rifle, and then add a Savage high power
rifle. Really good guns all, and well within

21) double barrel shotguns are redly nice,
more expensive but well worth the money
if you have it. And you can go up, cost-
wise, as far as you like.
The man who wants a "matched set" of
guns covering most hunting needs at prices
really well below the $500.00 total can get
what he wants by concentrating on bolt
action shotguns and rifles. The Mossberg
people make a good line of bolt action
shotguns and .22 rifles, and good high
power bolt action rifles are available in
other makes. A set of three bolt action
guns (both rifles complete with scopes and
the shotgun with choking device) can be
bought for a little over $200.00Ñi some
cases maybe even a little less.
Sears Roebuck's J. C. Higgins line of
guns feature various designs in both shot-
guns and rifles, including both high power
and 3 2 rifles. They are good guns for the
money, just like the Stevens, Mossbergs,
and other brands. The average sportsman
should have no trouble in selecting the
guns he wants.
Gauge and caliber selection of course de-

Larry was so eager to learn that he took it
without a murmur. He shot a few doves;
but mostly, that first year, he just learned
gun handling.
When duck season came he actually killed
a few ducks all by himself and winged a
few which I brought down before they could
escape as cripples. This may account for
his preference for ducks over quail and
doves. He says, "They are bigger, Daddy,
and they don't fly so fast."
Larry was now all fixed up with a .22
caliber rifle and a shotgun. My next con-
cern was to fit him out with a rifle capable
of killing a deer. The choice for a rifle for
this purpose was simple; I had a venerable
lever action 30-.30 in excellent condition
I applied a recoil pad to the stock after cut-
ting it off so that it would be one inch shorter
than before, including the pad. This made it
just barely short enough so the small fry
could work the lever. But the full-power fac.
tory-loaded ammunition has a little too much
oomph for him to handle the recoil. So far,

special hand-loads which consist of the -32-20

grains of 4895 powder. Thii is not exactly
a sissy load, and could easily kill a deer at
fairly close range, but for the time being it
will be used mostly on jac4 rabbits for prac-

Larry will be handling this gun with loads
equivalent to factory fodder and we will
be ready for our first safa~i.
Actually, until just recbntly, on most of
our trips afield together I aould have killed
twice as much game as I did if it had not
been for having a small boy with a gun
along to worry about. Yes, there is a lot of
work and even some self-sacrifice in groom-
ing your boy for a hunting companion. But,
believe me mister, it's worth it a thousand

 DUCK BOAT MOTORS by Evinrude Motors,
Dept. GlO, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are used
by more and more waterfowl hunters who
have turned to convertible boat-blind rig:
powered by Ole Evinrude's reliable out
boards. Using bhat as blind is easy, conver
jion being done by making take-down frames
of 1" x %I1 scantlings, then tieing rushes
to them to form curtain screening boat en-
tirely around gunwale. No special design is
needed, just make frames, lay water reeds
across and tie to stakes. If ducking seems
poor in one part of the bay, just start up
the Evinrude and chug to another sector
where the decoys can drag in the drakes.

WIND SPEED METER for duck gunners
works by simply holding it into a breeze,
gives an accurate indication of prevailing
wind velocity. Ideal for the scientific duck
gunners who want to find out how much
they should lead in pass shooting over de-
coys but don't know how to determine wind
velocity. Will register winds as slow as hot
air from gun-room bull sessions up to gales
and tornadoes. I checked it driving on a
still day holding the instrument from my car
window, and it registered true at various
speeds. Tiny ball floats in air column of
manometer tube, indicating velocity. Wind
speed indicator sells for only $4.95 postpaid

T H R E E RIFLES F O R DEER
(Continued from Page 64)
300 yards distant to lift it outside a mule
buck's vital area-and it doesn't drop enough
below point of aim to miss that area until it
gets out pretty close to the 400 yard marker.
For all practical purposes, I now had a rifle
that would shoot point-blank (no sight ad-
justment or hold-off) out t o around 400
yards. Which was what I wanted. (I knew
now that the 300 Savage, too, differently
sighted in, would reach farther than I had
used it, but this was belated knowledge).
I did some practice shooting at these new,
long ranges, to make sure that I really could
lay my shots home. I could and can. It goes
without saying that I could also hit with
this rifle at shorter ranges. Logically, there-
fore, the .270 replaced my other two rifles.
But I loved those rifles, had no intention of
turning either or both of them out to pasture.
That, coupled with my sit-down method of
hunting, gave me an answer. I would hunt
with all three rifles!
Here's how it works. I know this coun-
try; and, after all these years, I know a little
something about deer habits and hunter-
habits. I load my three-gun arsenal into my
car (plus my binoculars and anything else
I think may add. to my comfort during a
given number of quiet hours), and I drive
to or near a spot where I think deer will be
moving. I sit myself down in a spot with a
nice view and a good field of fire, line up
my guns within easy reach-and wait.
It works. I have bagged mule deer as
close as 27 feet, and as far as-well, maybe

400 yards, maybe 350. On five occasions in
five consecutive years, I filled my ticket with
nice mule bucks from the same sitting spot-
and if you think I'd tell my best friend
where, you're crazy. Three of these shots
were taken at less than 100 yards, with the
30-30. One was at around 200 with the
Savage. The fourth was a good deal farther,
and made me glad I had the 270.
It was evening, with frosty shadows slant-
ing down off the mountain and spreading
themselves like a dark cloak over my sitting
place and across half my field of vision. I
would have called it a day in another few
minutes. But just then I saw a magnificently
racked buck bounce to a stop on a ridge
some 350 yards distant. He turned, looking
back the way he had come. I reached for
the 270, leaning ready against a log along
with the carbine and the Savage. Quickly I
picked it up, hugged it to my shoulder and
sought out, through the scope, the monarch
on the ridge. He still stood like a statue.
Laying the crosshairs just back of the shoul-
ders, I took a deep breath, exhaled, and
pressed the trigger.
Almost at the instant that I heard the
blast, the buck leaped into the air, dropped
his head, clamped his tail, and. made three
or four stumbles down the slope. Then he
was down. When he lay still for perhaps a
minute, I rose, put the .30-30 and the .300 in
the car, shouldered the .270, and went to
dress some venison.
These days I find myself depending more
and more on the .270. It has class that grows
on me. But I will not allow it to come com-
pletely between me and the old friends of
days gone by. I think there is room in
my heart for all of them.
