INTERESTING TO DEERSTALKERS.
There is occasionally some misunderstanding of the law as it applies to the ammunition used by deerstalkers in New Zealand. Clause 7 of the Animals' Protection Act of 1907 is, however, very clear: — It shall be unlawful to use, for the purpose of taking or killing any deer, moose, elk, or other animal declared to bo imported game, any metal-patched or -metal-cased bullet: ' - ' Provided that this provision shall not apply to the use of the bullet known as the expansive or mushroom bullet. Tho proper cartridge for deerstalkers is tho Colonial 'Ammunition Company's Special Soft-Nose .303. This same cartridge, only charged with a hard-nose bullet, brok> all records at the last Trentham Championship Meeting. The smashing power of the SoftNose .303 is extraordinary. • The keenest New Zealand sportsmen swear by C.A.C. ammunition, because experience proves it to be the best anywhere. Splendid i penetration, infallible ignition. "CA.O." cartridges are stocked by all the best storekeepers, ironmongers, and ammunition dealers throughout New Zealand. „> They have no superiors in the world. '
