"BRUSH SHELLS" A BIG BOON TO BIRD SHOOTERS Winchester "Brush" Shells long ago passed the experimental stage. They have stood the tests of the most critical bird shooters and have won their enthusiastic endorsement. They not only help wonderfully to make big bags when used in any gun, but they enable a sportsman to use a full choked trap or duck gun for bird shooting and get as good results as a brush gun would give. Remember the big even spread of shot that Winchester "Brush" Shells give is obtained without the loss of velocity or penetration the all important factors in a good load. Winchester "Brush" Shells are loaded in Leader and ALWAYS ASK FOR Repeater cases and are sold by dealers everywhere. THE RED W BRAND TRY THEM ONCE AND YOU©LL USE THEM ALWAYS.
