Bullets, Express-

An explosive bullet of great killing power, used in hunting large game. It is of large caliber but quite light, being much shorter than the ordinary rifle-bullet. A cylindrical cavity bored in at the point carries a small metallic cartridge-case filled with powder. It is fired with a large charge of powder, which, owing to its lack of weight, gives it a high initial velocity and a very flat trajectory up to about 200 yards, obviating the nece ity for an elevating sight. The Winchester Expre -bullet (a good type of those made in America) has a caliber of.50, weighs 300 grains, and is fired with 95 grains of powder, giving an initial velocity of 1640 feet. It is made of pure lead, the softne of which increases its deadline . The shock from this bullet will bring down the largest game. See Expre -Rifle .
