ParallaxAccording to Webster, parallax means" the apparent displacement , or difference inapparent position, of an objec t as viewedfrom different points." It mean s th e sameth ing in scopes, and is a condition causedby the scope being out of focus for therange involved. Excessive parallax in ascope sight can cause a wide dispersion ofshot groups, enough to ru in th e effectivenessof a hunting or tar get rifle. Many shooters,especially hunters, do not know aboutparallax, do not know how to recognize itor how to correct it. I have found man yhunters using scopes with which th eycouldn' t hit a bull in a barn. Th ey blamedthe rifle.To determine wheth er a scope has parallaxor not, lay the scope (or rifle and scope)over a chair, box, or other rest, or clamp itin a vise so that the cope reticle will bearon some kind of targe t out at 200 yards.Th en, with out touchin g th e rifle or scope inany way, move th e eye up and down andsideways to th e very limit of th e exit pupiland see if the cross wires or post moves onth e .tar get or not. If th e reticle travels onon .some kind of tar get out at 200 yards.Th en, with out touchin g th e rifle or scope inany way, move the eye up and down andsideways to the very limit of th e exit pupiland see if the cross wires or post moves onth e target or not. If the reticl e travels onth e target as th e eye is moved up or downor sideways, then the scope has parallax andis out of focus for th e ran ge. The cross wir esor post or other aiming point in th e reticl eshould stay fixed on th e target without anymovement whatever as th e eye is moved allaround to th e limi ts of th e exit pupil. If itdoes not do so, th en you have a parallaxproblem and th e rifle may shoot groups aslarge as th e travel of the reticle.That word " may" is imp ortant. Goodgroups can be made with a scope with parallax,if the eye is placed exactly in th e samerelation to the cente r of th e exit pupil foreach shot. But if you cha nge position orshoot hurriedly, with your eye off center,even th ough you can still see thro ugh th escope, then the shot will go wide by as muchas th e reticle tr avels on the ta rge t. You maypinwheel your shots when you are shootingat a bull seye target, becau se th en you ar echeeking th e gun the same for each shot;but when you shoot at game, you may cheekthe gun differently and get a miss. Thi saccounts for a good man y "mysteriousmisses" on game. It 's a good idea to checkfor parallax even thou gh your gun targetsaccurately. If the reticl e stays steady on thetarget regardless of eye position over th ecomb of the stock or through the exit pupil,th en the scope has no parallax and shoulddeliver th e maxim um accuracy of that rifle.Most target scopes have ad jus ta ble lenseswhich can be screwed back and forth until.-~ ....~~ .... ~ '" ...... .........f£> ..... l ~ ~ .;"" I,............ .t.... .... ....

Some will cree p a little atcloser ran ges, but that can be ignored solon g as there is no parallax at 200. Anyhunting scope which shows parallax at 200yards and which cannot be easily adjustedto correct thi s condition, should be returnedto the maker for adjustment.Another pr ecaution against mysteriousmisses is to check all scope clamps andmount screws for looseness. Keep them allturned up tight for best accuracy.Bore SightingWhenever a new scope, or new iron sightsfor that matter, ar e mounted on a rifle, a lotof time and troubl e can be saved by boresight ing before sighting in th e piece.

A S HA DGUNS APPROACH RI FLES in power, gamefi and conservation officials in many states ar e corningto realize that hunting with a handgun can be a human eas well as an effective way to take big game. But everytime someone breaks into print on the subject, a man-sizedarg umen t gets started. Th ere should be no ar gument.Handguns can be used successf ully to take big game. Iknow. I've proved it, and seen it proved, too many tim esto have any doubt s about it.I started using a handgun at a very tender age, andhave been totin g one most of the time ever since. Huntingwith a revolver is exciting- I've done it for the sheer thrillof stalking and takin g game with a shor t-range weap on.At other times, I' ve used a handgun because it was the onlythin g available. Sometim es a rifle is excess ba ggag e in thewoods and there ha ve been tim es when, if it ha dn't beenfor my heavy-caliber pistol, I'd have gone hu ngr y. Withone or the other of th ~ manv car tr -i dsres r::m gin". h p.twp.p.nmodern .44 Magnum, I've killed many cougar, deer, bea r,elk, and lesser anim als fr om ground squirrels to coyo tesand bobcats, to say nothing of birds from grouse to eagles.The handgun is a versatile provider.Big game hunting with a pistol has limitati ons whichthe hunt er must first realize and place upon himself andhis hun tin g at all times. As with any rifle or sho tgun,maximum effective ra nge must be considered (almost certainlyioill), This may prove to be, not the limits of thecartridge, but the limit of your ability to hold and hit.Pistol hunting is like hun ting with bow or camera. To besuccessful, you must work close to the game before alertingit. Spor tsmanship and woodscraft play a big part here.You must know how to stalk game, how to put your selfwhere you can hit the animal with a quickly vital shot.Even if you are pretty handy with the one-hand gun, thismeans you will restrict most of your shoo ting to well

hunter becomes the least bit excited, he may shoot at gamethat is entirely out of his gun' s range, or his shot may hitsome non-vital area. And if the hunter has even a tr ace of" buck fever," he can' t hit the side of a mountain with ahand gun.The best way to avoid the sha kes at the sight of yourfirst deer is to acquire the confidence which comes fromdeveloping your shooting skill. When you are hunting witha pistol and have a difficult shot to mak e, take the steadiestshooting position available. Don't worry abo ut how Billythe Kid or Wya tt Earp would have done it. Chances are noone is watching YOU; and even if they are, you're not tryingto star on TV; your job is to make a clean kill. Mostpra ctice work should be done one-handed, but you shouldalso practice shoo ting from the var ious positions you mighttak e in the field, to find out what to expect and which oneseems best for you. Many times a tree or rock is hand y,and the arm may be rested across it to stea dy the hold.Never rest the ba rrel or the butt of the gun directly on a.357 heavy handloads, .44 Magnum and .44 Special withplenty of punch are legal in some areas fo r big game.solid object. Doing thi s, I have found, nearly alwayschanges the point of imp act.When you have work ed out a positi on-possibly seated,with your back aga inst a tree, or even pr one with twohands steadying the revolver- prac tice fr om thi s positionso you will learn what results to expect when game is inyour sights. Shoot at ranges at least up to 200 yards tocheck dr op and hold-over, the amount of front sight youmay have to run in the rear sight notch to compensate forthe range. You may never use the pistol at such a distance,but it is valuable to know what to expect.Shooting at 100 yards is plenty far enough for evenskilled pist olmen, too far for most. Few shooters arecapable of laying their shots into the vital area of a deerat 200 yards, but prac tice firing at these ranges will showyou your errors. I have often seen myoId friend andhunting partner, Elmer Keith , kill chucks and jack rabbitswith 200 yard pistol hits, but few of us are in th at class.Remember, it is wiser to do your hunting before you shoot,not afterward. And remember, too, that a hit made on asmall animal like a woodchuck at 200 yards is a killingwound: a hit of the same energy with the same bullet, on adeer may only wound.To settle a few complaints abo ut pistols not being powerfulenough for big game, let's take a look at the calibe rsavailable. Compared to the standard rifle calibers forme rlyused to take countless th ousands of deer and bear, somepistols today pack a powerful punch. At the turn of thecentury, and even more recently, calibers such as .38-55,.38-40, .32-40, .44-40, .35 and .351 Winchester Self-Loading,were considered as fine close-range deer rifle cartridges.But the .357 Magnum, .44 Special with handloadspushing a 250 grain slug at 1200 f.p.s., an d the.44 Magn um are (Continued on page 42).357 heavy handloads, .44 Magnum and .44 Special withplenty of punch are legal in some areas for big game..1.1U5 C;l:I.

Of these millions, average hunters like myselfoutnumber the experts by 20 to one or more. But we do come waddling homewith a lot of tr ophy heads and a lot of venison every season; and we could bringhome a lot more if we used a wee bit more horse sense and a little more game"s avvy" in our hunting.Game conservation ists tell us that deer in many ar eas are " under-hunted," thatthe herds are too numer ous for the food available-more numer ous in some pla cesthan in the da ys of the Dan'l Boone "long hunters." The y'r e numerous, all right;but I don't think it's because they are un der-hunted-Lord knows there 's enough ofus hunting them! I'd say it was because too many of us ar e failing too often toget the deer we hunt. .Successful deer hunting in volves a lot more than just sho uldering a gun andheading for the woods, slip-shod and happy-go-lucky. That kind of deer hunter

Sighting-in is needed by once-a-year hunter and practiced shooters alike. Invest-where the game is. Sounds logical, doesn't it ? But it'ssurprising how many hunters do the opposite !Failure to get far enough ba ck off the roads and trailscauses a lot of hunters to fail. It's:true th at a road hunterwill somet imes get his buck, but-figure it out for your self :deer are wild animals, afraid of hu mans. Doesn't it makesense that they will avoid , if they can, roads suddenlyteeming with hunters?Similarly, hunters swarm like bees to the places wherethe most deer were sighted during the opening two orthree days of the season. Th ere, a lot of th em squat onstands while others mill around in circles, maki ng morenoise than a crew of timber cutters.It is true that the season's opening will find most of thedeer conce ntrated in areas where feeding conditions arebest, and it is also true that a lot of hunters will havethese better feeding nooks spotted when the seaso n opens.But the blitz of the first two or three days will scatterthe deer out over a much wider ar ea. Th ey will movefurther ba ck off th e roads and trails, and will roam amuch wider area to gather their food. Some may remainin the better feedin g areas if these ar e lar ge enough, an dothers drift back to it ; but most of the bucks will head forand stay in the far fringe areas as long as the shoo tinglasts. That's where the y are, an d that's where you shouldgo to find them.Deer chase d out of their favorite feedin g ar eas duringthe first few days of the season do a good share of theirConcentrating search on thickets and underbrush wheredeer bed down after midday may give hunter a shot.=Concentrating search on thickets and underbrush wheredeer bed down after midday may give hunter a shot.

Deer, if alarmed, may be standing still not far off.feeding during the daylight hours. On bright moonlightspo oked as one not feedin g. Never hurry. Two hunters canfeeding during the daylight hours. On bright moonlightnig hts they may feed at night, but the ir main feedin ghour s are from dawn until mid-morning or later, and thenfrom mid-afternoon until sundown.In most of the better white-tail areas the principal deerfoods are evergreens such as cedar, pin e and others, thesoft twigs and limbs of various varieties of undergrowthbushes, wild grass, mushrooms an d acorns. Norm ally, afeeding white-tail will cover quite an ar ea during amorn ing's feedin g. Chances ar e the cri tter will workagainst the wind. This puts sitting or standing hunters ata disadvantag e because deer moving up-wind will scentthem and avoid them. Deer depend a lot on their keensense of smell to warn them of dange r.White-tails leave signs where they feed in addition totracks. A whi te-tail feeding on acorns will ruffle up thegrou nd leaves which have partially covered the acorn s.There'll be distinguishabl e tracks all along to help, andit is usually easy to see where a tender twig or shoot hasbeen bitten off. Everg reen feedin g signs are harder todistinguish, but with a little experience the average huntercan do it. An observing hunter, if he knows what signsto look for, can follow a feeding white-tail. It tak es goodwoodsmanship and very cautious stalking, but it is oneof the best of all ways to put venison in the freezer.Ease along thr ough the woods slowly, silently, observingthe feeding signs. Following a feedin g deer, you willusually be working with the wind in your favor, blowin gfrom him, to you. Advance slowly, a few yar ds at a time,as noiselessly as possible. Examine feedin g signs, thenspooked as one not feedin g. Never hurry. Two hunters canactually work it better than one. One hu nter looks forthe feeding signs and tracks while the other keeps a sharplook-out ahead . Remember, though, not more than twohunters should work together. Three is one too many.Concentrate the lookout ahead on the more likely feedin gnooks during the forepart of the morning and after midafternoon. During the mid-day perio d concentra te on thethickets and hiding spots where the white-tails are aptto bed down during this peri od.After a white-tail buck beds down for his mid-d ay siestahe will be easier to spook than he was while he was feedin g.However, eight times out of ten after he gets the dangersignal he will get up and stand still for a brief look-see.That's when the alert hunter gets his shot. Hunters workingtogether should not talk while trailing, not even in whispers.Use slow-motion hand signals if you must comm unicatewith each other. No smoking, please; and a cough orsneeze is usually fatal.This system works out far better than just plai n stalking,for obvious reasons. Unless following signs and tracks,the hunter doesn't know what course to tak e. He will spoo kmost of the deer before he sees them, and not man y ofus are good enough with high powered rifles to bring downrunning deer consistently. Leave running shots to theexperts. Stories about their feats make exciting reading,but we "Average Joes" do well to clobb er a stan ding buckat 50 or 100 yards.How does all this work out in pr actice?

African Plains Came isEASY TO HUNTBiggest of cloven-foo ted plains ga me of Africa is Cape buffalo, found on grasslandsof Dark Continent. Keit h dropped this one with .476 near Lake Manyarra.By ELMER KEITHNOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD is there such a multitude an d varietyof plain s game as ther e is in eastern Africa. Given reasonable protectionand enough range, these magnificent animals could be with us for centuries. Onthe other hand, total extermination can happen, as has occurred in many sectionsof South Africa. Th e threat is not fr om sport hunters but from the great increaseand out-spread ing of the native population. Even now there is a steady decreaseof animals in some sections. Th e na tives trap, or kill with poison arrows, andmuzzleload ers, a great amount of this game each year for meat, and as theirfarms spread the gam e is losing more and more of its range. Still, ther e ar e somany remaining and so great a variety as to dazzle the eyes of an Americanhunter. .African plains game requ ires good rifle work, often to very long range andseldom at very close range. Shots will avera ge out at 250 to 350 yards. There isgreat variation in size, fro m the tin y dik-d ik, not much larger than a bigMontana jack rabbit, to the enormous eland bull, which may weigh up to nearlya ton.

WHAT ELSE COULD YOU CALL THESE VASTPLAINS WHERE GAME SW ARMS IN SUCH NUMBERS AND SUCH VARIETY? BUT-IT CAN BE PARADISE LOST IF THE PRESENT TREND CONTINUESbut even these can abso rb a lot of lead if not hit right.My friend, Capt. L. E. Wadman, hit a big eland bull severaltimes with his 7x64 mm, loaded with 175-gr. Nosler bullets,and finall y put a .476 ball through both shoulders. Eventhen, the great bull remai ned on his feet for some time. Tallas a horse, and looking something like a Jersey bull inshape and color, they can jump ten feet high when necessaryand are wonderf ully active for such a great beast.They mak e mighty fine eating, too.The little Th omson's gazelles, commonly called Tommies,run abo ut 40 pound s in weight and are pr obably the mostnumerous of all plain s game. These beautiful littl e ant elope,with their distinctive black markings, have a black tailwhich is constantly in motion, like a car's wind shieldwipers. They will run ahead of your hunting car, much asan American pronghorn will, and you'll usuall y get shotsNext in size is Grant's gazelle, weighing around 125pounds; a ver y beautiful ant elope with horns much largerbut similar to the ringed horns of the Tommy. A handsometrophy, he's usually found in the same ar ea as Tommies.The impala, a larger, heavier antel ope about the size ofa whitetail deer and with longer legs than the Grant's, isa prodigious jumper. When at full speed you will often seeone animal sail ri ght out over the top of some of his companions.They are very fast. I remember shooting at aparticularly good buck late one evening at around 150 to200 yards , I swung the crosshairs of my .333 O.K.H. wellahead of that buck, only to see the heavy 300-gr. bulletwhip up dust a foot behind his rump. I did not get asecond shot.You will also see water buck: a big, heavy, tough animal,not very- pretty but weighin g up to 400 pound s. Ostriches

~ ~Probably the most common of allplains game is the zebra. They sometimesrun in huge herds and are alsofrequently a pest as you stalk someanimal you want badly. These prisongarbeddonkeys ar e usually fat, one ofthe few plains animals that is. I noticedthe three I killed for meat, skins,and lion bai t were all very plump ,carrying a yellow fat not unlike thaton a Jersey cow. Like most wild animals, they're mind readers, too. Whenyou don 't wan t one, they will standwithin 100 to 200 yards of you; butwhen you need one, they will be outat 350 to 450 yards.Zebras are quite heavy, going 600pounds or better. Careful shooting isrequired, as they are also tough. Ikilled two with quartering shots to thespine from the front edge of the shoulder,both with 300 gr. Kynoch softpoints from my .333 O.K.H., and oneat 255 yards hit at the base of the neckwith a 300-gr. soft poin t.I took two little Tommy bucks, oneat ju st 90 yards as he was quarteringawa y. This little buck stopped coldwhen the 300-gr. soft nose , steel-jacketKynoch bullet hit him. The otherTommy I gave a heart shot from thesitting position, using a 300-gr. solidbullet as he stood broadside at 250yards. He ran about 100 yards before dropping. Solids are very goodbullet as he stood broadside at 250yards. He ran about 100 yards before dropping. Solids are very goodfor these small antelope, wasting littleof that excellent Tommy, Grant, andimpala meat.I took one Grant at around 350 to400 yards. Sitting on an ant hill, wecould ju st see the tops of his hornsabove the tall grass. With the riflesighted for 200 yards I held betweenthe horns as he walked away from us.He jumped and ran, and I had to givehim a raking shot to finish him off.The first shot had hit the neck butmissed the spine. I also took oneimpala with a heart shot over opengro und at 226 yards with the 300-gr.soft nose from prone position, killinghim instantly. This was a very prettyhead.Wildebeest and hartebeest, the latt ercalled Kongoni, are very commonplains game and appear in hug e herds.Both are abo ut the homeliest beastsimaginable. They look as if parts fromante lope, buffalo, and mules had beenused to make the composite animal!The wildebeest is the heavier of thetwo, and tough as a boot. I killed twofor lion and leopard bait, and got myleopard over one of them. My secondwildebeest was shot from a prone positionwith sling, as he ran across myfront at 350 yards. It was like shootingon a tar get range. A long string ofthem were sailing along in high gearand I swung my cross wire s out somesix feet ahead of a big bull 's nose andcut loose. The heavy 300-gr. slugstruck him at spin e level back of theshoulder, and he turned some beautifulsomersaults before comi ng to rest .The bullet, while breaking the spine,did not penetrate past that point.The wildeb eest is a dark grey colorstreaked with black and with wrinkledneck. The Kongoni is a tan coloredbrute with a yellowish white rump,like our elk. He has an ungainly gait ,like the wildebeest, but he jumps higherand more erratically. The long, sadlookingfaces, the glands below theeyes, and the peculiar, crooked hornsand long ears, all combine to make theKongoni runner-up to th e wildebeestfor homeliness. I had no desire foreither of these animals as a trophy,nor would I even mount one. We shotthem only because we needed meat andlion bait. (Continued on page 34)Ugly kongon i was among game shot for lion bait. At right,graceful Grant 's gazelle has characteristic ribbed horns.

By FRANCIS E. SELLGETTI NG LOST IN HUNTING COUNTRY can be a mildadventure, or it can be deadl y serio us. Which it is foryou depends on how you pr epar e for it, and how you face it.Don't think it can't happ en ; it happens to the best of hunters.Even Da niel Boone admitted th at there were tim es when he was,if not lost, " a mite confused." The smart hunter prepares forit by careful planning befor e it happens.Much of this plann ing centers about the rifle, the amm unitionsupply, and careful sighting -in for two types of shoo ting . (Thecareful hunter knows, too, how to start a fire with his rifle, ifhe should run short of matches or get his matches wet. We'llcome to that later. )First, let's talk about the kind of shoo ting you' ll need todo in case you should become lost. Imagin e there's a snowstorm, and must spend a day, or two or three da ys, or evena week, away fr om camp. Your first thoughts will be concernedwith thr ee things: food, shelter, and fire.

ha ve tremendous vitality, and you may notbe able to get close enough to finish him off.The big white-tailed ja ckrab bit is also fast.He is capa ble of sprints of up to 40 m.p.h.On dry winter ground, jacks favor th eshort outer edges of brush patches andstands of tall cover. T he pr eferred cover iseither weeds or grass, usuall y not over afoot and a hal f in heigh t. Hunting thi s typeof cover, it is seldom possible to spot a ja ckuntil suddenly he is rac ing away. Vetera nhunt ers never pass up even isolated clum psof weed s. Even if only a few feet square,they are big enough to hide a ja ck and inreal rabbit country there'll be one there.As soon as snow completely blanket s th ecountryside, the jack s scatte r widely andblend perfectly with the snowscape. To spota jack on the snow, look for his eyes. Youwill see only one of th em, dark in color,about the diameter of a penny, and visibleat a sur prising d istance. The jack's bl ack ti pped ears, flattened back toward his shouldersas he crouches in his form, ar e also di scern ible but never as easily as the eye. Wh enyon spot him, the best way to pro ceed th atI kn ow of is to act as th ough you haven 'tseen him. Continue on a course that will bypassthe jack by at least 20 yards. Th issimple ru se is fairly successful pro vidingthe jack happens to be an " uneducated" one.Once a jack has been under fire, he willusuall y spook at an impossible shotgun ran ge,no matter how clever your stratage m. Tha t'swhen you will need a ri fle.If the snow deepens as wint er advances ,jackr abbits abando n open fields and pastures.The best hunting then will be in or near thecover that remains exposed-br ush, patchesof tower ing weeds, and shelterbelts- for suchhabitat will offer the only supply of availablefood. A concentra tion of jacks can dam ageyoung trees in a sheltcr helt, che wing themdown level with the snow, and thi s is anotherreason for their being classed as var mints.cover that remain s exposed-br ush, patchesof tower ing weeds, and shelterbelts- for suchhabitat will offer the only supply of availablefood. A concentra tion of jacks can dam ageyoung trees in a sheltcr helt, che wing themdown level with the snow, and thi s is anotherreason for their being classed as var mints.Ihave shot jacks at close range with afull-choke .410, usin g the 3·inch shellwith No. 7~~ shot. I have also ki lled jackscleanly using the 3-1%-7% trap load in animproved cylind er 12 gauge. But the chokeloadcombina tion suita hle for cottontailshooting is far from ideal on jacks. Shotgunningthe king-size prai r ie hares is in someways compa ra ble to long ra nge waterfowlshooting. Opp ortun ities to score on ja cks atless th an 35 yards are few. Long ra nge killsneed a heavy charge of shot and a tightpattern , espec ially to connec t when he moveso ut at a run .As a rule, a jack will r un for all he iswort h when he brea ks from h is form, pickingup speed so rap idly that by the time yourtrigger is ready he will be doing 30 to 35m.p.h. You will have to swing ahead forplent y of lead on a crossing jack. Cut th atlead in half for a quart ering target. Stra ightawayshots also req uir e lead , and in th is caseit means shooting high or over the target.This is accomplished simply by ra ising th emuzzle enough so that the jack is completelyblott ed from view at th e instant of firin g.Remember that a jack' s vital are a islocat ed in the forward one-third of his fr ame,and in order to tumble him clea nly this isthe machin ery that must be knocked out. Ifthe hu nter keeps his eye ri veted on th eIn the rifle department, the .22 r imfireprobably ta kes more ja ckra bbits out of circulationthan all other calibers combined.Th e common .22 packs enough wallop andits ammunition is easy on th e pocketb ook.P ump-r epeaters and auto-loaders get the nodfrom tho se who take jacks on Ihe r un. T heseactions let the shooter get a second or thirdbu llet on its way in almost nothi ng flat, b utwith bolt-action rifles the hand mu st movefrom grip to bolt an d back again. Thi s takestime ; usually pulls the rifle off the target.The open sights tha t most .22's wear whenthey leave the factory are fine for generalplinking, bu t leave much to be desired whenit comes to game or varm int shooting. It'sa sure bet you'll do more accurate shootingwith a good adj ustab le peep sight, or ascope.For r unning jacks, equip your .22 wit h apeep sight, or a 2l/2·powcr scope with areasona bly wide field of view, like themodera tely-pr iced Weaver J2.5 model, for afast sight pictur e. For "s niping" at jackscrouched in their day beds, a low-pri ced 4·or 6·power scope such as the Weaver Bseries, or Mossberg, will do very well. Wi ththi s glassware the field of view will be a bi tmore restricted, but since the target is notmoving that will be no great handicap.Seventy-five yards is a pra ct ical range atwhich to zero the scope-equipped .22 forsniping jacks. Thi s will put .22 Long Riflehollow point s {shorts and longs do not haveadequate power for anchoring jacks} approximatelyone inch high at 50 yards and t hreeinches low at 100.Better suited for ja ck busting at ranges inexcess of 100 yar ds ar e th e fla iter-sh ootingcenter-fire cartridges such as the .22 Hornetand the increasingly popular .222 Hem ington.When outfitted with a high-power scope,I he .222 is a honey for the jackr abbi t enthusiast.

The light won't be perf ect; and ifyour bullet mushrooms very mu ch, there'llbc no meat left. But cheer up ; the ra ngewill be short- 25 yards or less. It's up toyou to see that it is short ; becau se it is mostlikely to be offhand shooting at more or lessunexp ected targets.Th is shooting calls for midran ge handloads : load s wit h redu ced charges of powderof a special type, and gas-check bullets thatwon't tear up the meat. For example, a goodgas check load in the popu lar .30-06 is a185 gra in bullet, using 26 grains of No. 4198powd er for a velocity of 1750 feet a second.Th is combination in an accura te .30-06 rifl ewill mak e half-in ch groups at 25 yardsaccurateenough to snip the head off agrouse, or to tak e a squirrel or rabbit veryneat ly and , at this low velocity , wit hou t alot of meat spoilage. (B ut remember, thisload is no toy. In a pin ch, you could killa deer or bear with it. Don't get careless.)Bull ets from these midrang e loads aremad e by casting with the prop er mold . Leadalon e is not suitable for th ese unjacketedbullets. A mixt ure of lead-tin-an timony isbest. It casts bett er, sizes better, and themelt ing po int is high enough for veloc itiesas high as 1900 feet a second. Lyman recommends 1 part tin , 10 parts lead, and 1 partantimony. (I ndi vidual rifles ma y need slightvariations in bullet composition for bestaccura cy with midran ge loads. This is somethingwhich should be work ed out well inadvance, during the ofl-season.)Sighting-in a big game rifle with mid rangeload s poses several pr oblems. Wi th carefulexperimenting, it is sometimes possibl e toha ve midrange loads striking a commoncenter with big game loadings at 25 yards.Tllj :Li~ ,

P a..(Continued from page 58)Herter Sonic BulletThe Hert er Company are olTering the mostpeculi arly shaped .30 caliber 150 gra in bulletI have ever seen or tested. It is a spitzershaped soft point. The forward and rearbearing surfaces are full groove diameter butthe middle of the bullet is much smaller indiameter, giving the slug a wasp-waisted appearance.The shorter length of overall bearingsurface is said to cut down pressures andgive higher velocities for a given powdercharge. Certainly these wasp-waist bulletshave a school gal figure. Thcy shoot verywell and make excellent groups from th e.30·06. How well they will perform on gameremains to be seen.

Rapi.d(Continued from page 62)THE GUNS AT GETTYSBURGBy Fairfax Downey(David McKay, N.Y., $5)For the growing number of cannon andartillery buffs, this second of cannoneerDowney's popular fact works on big gunswill be an import ant book. Downey, a formerart illeryman with th e regular army , hasnot had service with muzzle loader , nor hashe seen "cannon balls come bounding downthe Pike like bowling balls," as one CivilWar gunner recorded, since modern gun shave too-high muzzle velocities for such lazyricochets. But he has a ta ctical under standingof field artillery which allows him tointerpret disposition s of batteries at Gettysburgwith ease and clarity. The book is dividedlogica lly. The thr ee days action givesdivisions into time periods, morni ng, afternoon,night. And the action itself allowschaptering as "Mustering Of th e Cann on,""Cannonade," "Charge," "The Horse Batteries."The book is a must before visitingthe Gett ysburg battlefield. Its app endix includesa chapter on the various types ofmunit ions flung from wheeled smoothboresand rifled guns of those days; and for thewould-be home hobbyi st artilleryman whoseeks to reenact th e loadi ng and firing ofcannon with fidelity, Downey has reprintedappropriate passages from th e ArtilleryManual (Field Artillery Tactics, 1864) asinstruction s. Notes are of much interest andthe book serves well as both story and factinstructionon gunnery.-WBECROSSFIRE(Continued from page 13)A Marine Corps ProblemI read your magazine every month , andenjoy it very much.

Irecently bought a .357 Rug er 1agnum. Ihave the gun registered on base with theprovost marshal; also with the City Police. Ihave to keep it checked in at the Armory.Every time I check the gun out, I havetrouble with base regulations on privatelyowned hand guns. On a week end, th e Annorycloses at 1630 and doesn't open until 0800Monday morning. So if I keep it in my lockeraft er I come back from targ et practice onbase or off base, I have brok en regulation, becausethere isn't any legal place I can keepthe .357 while the Armory is secured. So itends up with me having office hours with theold man or serving brig time. It seems Iboug ht a gun that I can't keep, shoot, orhave in my possession legally. Guns andhunting are my hobby, and I would like someadvice on thi s matter if possible.P.F.C. l.R.H.U.S.M.C.Th e Edito rs of GUNS had no answer to thisone, so we sent the lett er to the Marine CorpsTh e official reply (briefed) appears below.-Editors.The difficulty experienced by the Marinewith his caliber .357 Ruger Magnum quit eobviously stems from prot ective regulations.No commanding officer could possibly affordto permit th e unrestri cted, and unsupervised Ifiring ~f _so powerf u~. .~ . weapon wi thi~ . th~A~ UP-TO-DATE- -This is the only-of-its-kind G un Encyclop ed iawhich, since 1951, ha s been serving thos e whosevocation or avocation include s Firearm s • • •Collectors, Dea lers, Gunsmiths, libraries, Manufacturers,ete., throughout the world , are findingthe Firearms Directory more a nd mare valuable.Police Labo;alaries fr om Scollan d toSingap ore use the Firearms Directory!Since its inception, The Firea rms Direct ory hasgr own ea ch year by means af additions andrevisions. to the extent that it now weighs morethan seven pounds!PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATEDTHOUSANDS OF ILLUSTRATI ONS!The· unique maintenance service, consisting ofadditional new mater ial and revisions, solves the" obsolet e book" pro blem - The FIREARMSDIRECTO RY IS ALWAYS UP TO DATE, ANDTHE MAINTENANC E SERVICE KEEPS IT THATWAY; there is nothing else like it in the Firearmsfield.Tur tlllt'Il"~_OIDkI'JJ\PY_ .I .~ .nnnnrnTHOUSANDS OFBOOKS a ndPUBLICATIONSCLUBS and RANGESCODES andPROOFMARKSDEALERSFIREARMS,MISCEllANEOUSGL.OSSARYGUNSMITHSUNITEDSTAT ES~ 522.50ILLUSTRATI ONS!The· unique maintenance service, consisting ofadditional new material and revisions, solves the"obsolete book" pro blem - The FIREARMSDIRECTO RY IS ALWAYS UP TO DATE, ANDTHE MAINTENANC E SERVICE KEEPS IT THATWAY; there is nothing else like it in the Firearmsfield.THE FIREARMS DIRECTORY IS DIVIDEDINTO SIXTEEN SEPARATE SECTIONS:IDEN TIFICA TIO Nl ABO RA TO RIESLEGAl.MA NUFACTURERS andIMPORTERSPATENTSPISTOLSRiflESSHOTGUNSTECHNICAL NOTESAppropriate material , contained in thea bove c1ossifications, is conti nually addedta - for exa mple. the "PISTO L ATLAS"[pp, 34-35 ; FIREARMS IDENTIFICATION,J.
