New Bullet for 7 m-m
Believing in John H. Barlow's policy, -"There's nothing too good for the rifle shooter—give him what he wants," the Martin Firearms Co. (successor to the Ideal Mfg. Co.) has responded to the popular demand with a new gas-check bullet for the 7 m/m Spanish Mauser.
This bullet (designated as No. 285346) has the patent metal gas-check cup attached to the base, which prevents fusion and gas cutting. See illustration. With 20 grains weight of DuPont Lightning powder it gives very accurate results at 200 yards, having made a 5-shot, 4 1/2-inch group at that distance with the normal elevation of the sight.
143212
The first groove above the base is made with a bevel that fits the gascheck cup also and a separate mould can be furnished for this shorter, lighter weight bullet, giving a short-range gascheck bullet suitable for the 7 m/m. The full length bullet weighs in the neighborhood of 130 grains while the shorter length, or one band short of the full length, weighs about 115 grains when using a mixture of one part tin to 10 parts lead or using Ideal bullet metal No. 2. The 115 grain bullet can also be used in the .28 calibre rifles. Use Ideal No. 10 tool with double adjustable chamber for the 7 m/m: use Ideal No. 3 tool with double adjustable chamber for .28 calibre.
There have been many persistent calls for an Ideal gas-check bullet of this calibre and the rifle-men will be pleased with this announcement. A sample bullet and full information will be sent on request by the Ideal Mfg. Co. (the Marlin Firearms Co. Successor), New Haven, Conn.
