I noticed in the issue of April 4 a new hollow point .28 cal, bullet No. 285228, just perfected by the Ideal Manufacturing Co. It struck me it was about the right thing for my .28 cal. Pope for 'chuck shooting and I at once ordered a mold. When it arrived I gave it to friend Spencer and ordered some bullets cast, alloy 1 to 32, but expected to do considerable experimenting in order to be well equipped for my May shooting. Last Saturday I took them to Walnut Hill to test them on the machine rest. I loaded twelve shells, using No. 6'4 U. M. C. nitro primers, about 4 grains of DuPont No. 1 rifle smokeless for priming. filled remainder of shell with King's CG Semi-Smokeless powder to within 4 inch of muzzle, and Skinner's plastic lubricating wad on top, then seating bullet in shell covering two grooves, remainder of bullet standing out from shell as I always have it in my hunting charge, using two cartridges to line up the rest at 50 yards. I then made a group of ten consecutive shots, which I inclose for the benefit of readers of SHOOTING AND FISHING who might be interested in this bullet. The circle around the group is the size of a nickel. H. A. BAKER
