It handles equally well cartridges with either 200 or 250 grain bullets. The former hits a harder blow than the .30 U. S. Army cartridge, whose ability to stop the biggest of big game is well known. A particularly desirable feature of the Model 1910 rifle is its detachable magazine, which makes it unnecessary to work the unfired cartridges through the action when unload ing, and permits the use of extra magazines by means of which a number of shots can be fired with great rapidity. In the strength and simplicity of its action, and in the rapidity with which it can be shot, this rifle has no equal.
