The popular and reliable Winchester Model 1886 Rifle has been adapted to handle this new cartridge, which is large enough and powerful enough to kill any big game known. The Winchester .33 Caliber Rifle is made in solid-frame or take-down style, with a 24-inch round nickel steel barrel and weighs about 7 3-4 pounds. The "Take Down" ttsfs at $30.00 and the Solid Frame gun at $25.00. The Winchester .33 Caliber belongs to the high-power Smokeless-powder class of cartridges, having high velocity and flat trajectory, and which develop great striking energy and penetrating power. The .33 Caliber bullet weighs 200 grains, and with the load of Special Smokeless powder used in the cartridge develops a muzzle velocity of 2,050 foot seconds and a muzzle energy of 1,868 foot pounds. The penetration of this cartridge with a soft-pointed metal patched bullet at a distance of 15 feet from the muzzle is 12, 7-8-inch pine boards. Soft pointed bullets used in this cartridge have special upsetting, or mushrooming, qualities, owing to their high velocity. This makes the Winchester .33 Caliber a particularly desirable cartridge for big-game shooting, as mushrooming bullets of this size, have terrific killing power. For all practical purposes this cartridge is as powerful as the .30 U. S. Army or .303 British, and the fact that it is of considerably larger caliber is considered by some an advantage iri its favor. Send for full description of it.
