Small-bores have become the fashion of the day, and for military purposes they are decidedly the best, as a greater amount of ammunition can be carried by the soldier, while at the same time the range and trajectory of his weapon are improved.
I have nothing to do with the purse, but I confine my remarks to the weapons and the game, and I shall avoid technical expressions. The generally recognised small-bores, all of which are termed "Express" from the large charge of powder, are as follow: Small-bore Charge of Large- Charge of For all Game Express. Powder. bores. Powder. such as* '577 6 1/2 drams 4 bore 14 drams Elephants.
At the same time it must be distinctly understood that so light a projectile as 650 grains will not break the bone of an elephant's leg, neither will it penetrate the skull of a rhinoceros unless just behind the ear. This is sufficient to establish the inferiority of small-bores.
