R. writes :— " Would you kindly inform me why many breech-loading fowling pieces have No. 13 barrels when there is no cartridge made of size 13 ? Having a gun with No. 13 barrels, what size of cartridge should I use? Is a guv of this size inferior to a No. 12 ? " Answer :— There is no 13 gauge. Gun barrels are tested before they are finished. They are marked 13 when tested in the proof house, to allow for any fault or blemish, and are then cleaned, regulated, and bored to 12. Send the number of your bore to Mr James Mills, gunsmith, Stafford sfcrpet, Dunedin, and he : will supply you with suitable cartridges. P.
