AFTE Store - Book Review

Review of articles in Shooting Times and Country magazine, October 24, 1971 issue. Journee’s method is used to determine the maximum range of shotgun pellets. A table is given. Another rule of thumb is cited for the maximum range of pellet sizes 5 thru 7: the pellet diameter in mm is multiplied by 90. This equals the approximate range in yards. A discussion about the hazards of plastic shotshell cases and clay targets to livestock. An article in defense of Damascus barrels, when properly made, proofed, and not subjected to overloads. Historical data is presented by Geoffrey Boothroyd on the Winchester model 1886, and the calibers in which it was produced.
