3o8i. When cast is .311 in diameter, which is correct for the .303 (English). It may be sized to .3°8. The 200 or 225 grains weight, some think, are fine bullets for the .3o U. S.Govt.

3o82. When cast is intended to crimp into the top groove, same as in the standard metal jacketed bullet, the forward part of shoulder resting on the end of the shell to prevent ball receding. Chamber that is correct for the metal patched bullet .3o-3o Winchester will also seat these bullets.

3o83. When cast is .311, to be sized to .308. It is similar to No. 3o82, except in weights and having flat point. These bullets will seat correctly in chambers that are for the .3o-3o Marlin metal patched bullet, but will not seat in tool for the .30-3o Winchester.

3o84. When cast is slightly above .3o8 ; when loaded in the regular .3o-3o W. chamber, shell crimps over all the bands. Single mould will form a bullet with point rounded like 3082. The 132 grs. we call the standard .3o NV.; 200 grs. is the regular .3o Govt. When it is seated in shell two grooves project. 3084 bullets seat properly in the .3o Savage tools.

3085. When cast is slightly above .3o8. These bullets have flat points in all cases, whether made in single or Perfection mould. They are intended particu larly for the .3o Marlin, and conform to the shape of the metal patched bullet on the point, and the chamber that is correct for one is correct for all. The iv grs. bullet is the standard.

3o86. When cast is .311. This bullet was designed by NIr. Beardsley, of the Bridgeport Gun Implement Co. Fine reports have been received from this full length bullet, when sized to .308, using ftill charge of black or lower pressure smokeless powder in the various .3o caliber rifles. The lighter weights are re ported fine for short range for all the rifles using bullets .311 or .3o8 in diameter.

3o80. This is the .30-3o Winchester short rang-e bullet. It may be seated cor rectly with any loading tool that is correct for the regular .3o-3o 'Winchester cartridge. It ha.s but one groove for lubrication and has a deep, hollow base.

3o822. This bullet is exactly the same as 3089, with the exception that the point is round and the base is flat. It also may be seated with any regular reload

ing tool that is correct for the standard .3o-3o Winchester.

3o823. This is the .3o-3o Marlin short range. It has fiat point and flat base, and is seated correctly with any reloading tool that is correct for the standard .30-30 Marlin cartridge.

30Sio. This bullet is cast .311, and is designed for the .30 Savage short range (miniature bullet). It may be seated: in the .30 Savage shell with the regular reloading tools, but will require special chamber to be properly seated in any of the other .3o calibers.

30812. When cast is .311 (correct size for .32-2o, etc.). Here is a fine series of short range bullets that are well balanced, presenting a good length of bearing and number of grooves for sufficient lubrication. All of the short, sharp pointed bullets of different calibers have justly earned their reputation for accuracy- and for small game killing. They- do not mang,le or tear. It has been proved, also, that bullets of this shape, when long-er or heavier than bullets of other shapes, will fly more accurately and keep point on for a g-,reater distance. We would remark also that bullets having a good length of bearing, with lubrication properly dis tributed, will hold the rifling better and are not so apt to jump the twist and lead the barrel, since they have a greater length of grip.

308(5. These bullets are for the .32-4o Remington. We would remark that all of the .32-4o Remington bullets, whether grooved or patched, are proper size for the .3o caliber.

308(56. This is the regular .32-40 Remington bullet. See under Reming-ton Arms.

30824. This bullet is the same as 30823 with the exception that it has a deep, hollow base. It may be seated with the regular .3o :Marlin reloading tool.

30826. Round ball for indoor work or very short range. Light charges of powder should be used, too much powder causing them to jump the rifling.

30841. This is a bullet from the Cylindrical mould, which is made for smooth bullets for paper patching. Moulds cast point, round, flat or Leopold.
