High Power Big Game Rifles When you want to drive a ten-penny nail you don©t use a tack hammer. For the same reason, when you set off to hunt grizzly, elk, mountain goat, or other big game gener ally shot at fairly long range, don©t take a medium or low-power rifle just because you happen to have one, but carry a long, strong-shooting rifle one that hits a smashing, knock-down blow. Such rifles are the Winchester Model 1886 .33 caliber and the Model 1895 «3 Army, .35 and .405 calibers, using high-power smokeless powder cartridges with metal-patched, soft-pointed bullets. The bullets used in these cartridges have a good-sized cross section, which gives them great killing power at the distance most big game is shot. The accuracy of these rifles and cartridges has been thoroughly established, and if you sight right the game is yours. Your gun dealer can show you these models, or we will send you a catalogue describing them upon request. Winchester Cartridges and Winchester Guns are made one for the other.
