If you©ve been shooting a powder that gives too much recoil, try SCHULTZE. The loading is always the same the hard, indestructible grains are not affected by the pressure put on the wads. There is a regularity of action that makes shooting a pleasure. Look for SCHULTZE on the box-give it a trial. Guaranteed by the pioneer powder makers of America. ESTABLISHED WILMINGTON 1802 DELAWARE
