What if the cartridge should miss fire? If it's a question of self defence, your life depends upon your weapon being sure fire. If you are target snooting with a pistol, you want to get all the accuracy possible. Both these qualities, accuracy and sure fire, go back to the cartridges you use. Winchester pistol and rifle cartridges are made for serious work. For this reason every lot of cartridges that leaves these world-famous gun and ammunition makers, is subjected to the severest tests for ignition, pressure, accuracy, velocity, penetration. 1,000,000 rounds of ammunition are fired every year in the testing of Winchester guns and ammunition. For your own protection don't simply ask for cartridges, but specify Winchester Brand in the caliber you use.
