STUDENTS AND FACULTY OF AMERICA'S FARTHEST NORTH

UNIVERSITY KNOW GUNS, USE THEM NOT ONLY FOR SPORT BUT IN MANY

CASES ALSO TO PROVIDE MEAT THROUGH THE LONG WINTER

By CHARLES J. KEIM

always deemed firearms as much a part of the home
as cooking pots and furniture. Our Constitution very

valuable assets to their country. And because I feel as I at the University of Alaska, puts it this way: "Students
do,".sgys Dr. Ernest N. Patty, president of the University here take a much greater interest in firearms than is the
of Alaska, "we encourage all students, from arts-and-letters case in most universities and colleges. In the first place,

and proper respect for their firearms. I feel that a student from the States with a strong desire to hunt such game

University of Alaska is America's shootidest college. And student acquiring or intensifying a love of hunting has an
avocation which he can use the rest of his active life, so
we look upon hunting as very worthwhile training."
University of Alaska students and faculty were highly
elated but not greatly surprised recently when they learned
that their varsity rifle team was first place winner in the
1956 National Smallbore Rifle Team Championship's
sharpshooter class. The team scored 1,527 out of a possible
1,600 points to win against nation-wide competition. But
Alaskans were not surprised, because Alaskans just
naturally expect Alaskans, college students or otherwise, to
be a little better than good with any piece of shooting
machinery.
The same friendliness toward guns is reflected in the
laws, or lack of same, regulating firearms possession and
use in Alaska, and in the attitude of Alaskan police. You
can carry any weapon-rifle, shotgun, or pistol-in Alaska
so long as it is not concealed. Carrying concealed weapons
is a Territorial violation, and some cities have ordinances

^
prohibiting "the carrying of weapons for the express pur-
pose of htimidation." But, generally speaking, any peace-
ful and law-abidin ver gun or

University law forbids shooting big game within a half mile of campus. Contrary to what some State-side
anti-gun advocates would suggest, this
freedom to bear arms has caused no
crime wave in the Territory.
As a matter of fact, Alaska's inci-
dence of armed crimes of violence is
gratifyingly low. Nor is there any
prevalence of firearms accidents. Lieu-
tenant Bill Trafton of the Alaska Terri-
torial Police speaks the simple truth
as all true shooters know it when he
says, "There are few firearms acci-
dents in the Territory because most of
the people here are familiar with
weapons and know how to handle them
properly."

Highway or by airplane.

student, Peter Shepherd, runs a re-

Probably few married couples at
stateside universities get to eat steak
seven times a week while going to
school. The Alaska students can eat
as much steak as they please, but they
have to earn it. They do just that For
many, getting the winter's meat supply
in the fall is iust as imoortant as earn-
ing funds for school during the sum-
mer. It takes a lot of eating - to dis-
pose of a moose or caribou while
varying the diet with a profusion of
smaller game. Black bear and moose
sometimes boldly walk right on campus,
but the university prohibits hunting

w- HERE IS THE BEST place to carry a gun if war is

imminent? Obviously-in your band! But this is
a bit conspicuous and apt to tip the opposition that you
are either scared or mad
The next best place is in a holster. But that isn't al-
ways good, either. A holster usually means you need to
wear a coat, since in most places folks don't wear their
hardware in view anymore; and a coat, in many places,
and times, can make you not only uncomfortable but
almost as conspicuous as though you Camed the gun in
the open. But there are lots of good places to tuck away
an equalizer without resorting to cowhide.
There is a mistaken notion that when a feller haa to
pack a gun for self-protection he must have it where he
can make a quick draw. I believe this is mostly poppy-
cock. Texas Rangers and deputy sheriffs do sometimes
make quick draws, but this brand of gun juggling is
pretty generally confined to moving pictures. When the
boys who wear the stars lope out to corral a tough hombre,
they wade in with guns in hand. If they do not, they're
loco! And Mr. Juan Q. Citizen is likewise loco if he
doesn't take similar precautions when he sticks his neck
into potentially dangerous situations. Changing a tire
on a deserted stretch of road, or tooling the old bus into
the family driveway at night, or getting out of bed to
see whether it's a man or a mouse, can all qualify as
potentially dangerous situations. In all such cases, the
gun should be in hand or handy-not in the rear trunk
of the car along with the jack, nor yet in the glove com-
partment, not in the bureau drawer, but where you can
reach it.
To my notion one of the best places to stow the self-
defense howitzer is in the front pants pocket. You cannot
make one of Ed McGivern's split-second draws from this
location, by you needn't be too slow either. The best gun
for this carry is an automatic. It should be one that is
a double action, so that all you have to do is to pull the
trigger to fire; one of the new family of auto-loaders with

 BALLISTICS TESTS OF .30 CALIBER HUNTING BULLETS REVEAL

IMPORTANT DIFFERENCES IN EXPANSION AND PENETRATION

By BOB HAGEL

H dash intowhoa sporting

UNTERS wait until just before a hunting trip to
goods store for a supply of am-
munition are missing an opportunity to improve their
results by finding out beforehand which bullet will work
best on the game they plan to hunt. A little thought and
preparation along that line now can spell the difference
between success and failure on next fall's hunt.
Choosing the right load for a specific kind of game and
a specific kind of shooting can be a problem. Dealers'
shelves are piled high with different brands of ammunition
in a given caliber, loaded with bullets of different weights,
shapes, and jacket designs. To make the correct selection
from these offerings, the hunter needs to know what bullets
are best for what kind of game.
To the average hunter, a cartridge is a cartridge and,
if it is the same caliber as his gun, that is it If someone
tells him that this cartridge will shoot a certain bullet at
3,000 feet per second muzzle velocity and that it will shoot
another bullet at only 2,700 feet per second, he's pretty
likely to pick the faster load. It sounds "bigger," especially
when he's telling the boys what he's using. Few seem to
realize that it is the bullet which kills the game and that
it is the action of the bullet after it hits-not at the muzzle
of the gun -but out where the game is-that means either
a trophy and meat for the hunter o r a carcass unfound and
left for the scavengers.
Caliber 30-06 cartridges loaded to aver- Some bullets are designed to be fired at ultra-high

of tissue, while not expanding too much and tearing apart.
These bullets are designed to retain a great deal of their
original weight so that they will drive through to the vital
areas of large game such as elk, moose, and the larger
bears, even when the shot must be made from an angle
that requires very deep penetration. However, to the great
displeasure of many hunters who have used them, some of
the latter class of bullets have not lived up to the claims
of the manufacturers.
Many hunters have found to their sorrow when using
light, quick-expanding bullets at ultra-high velocity on
heavy game, that they do not work very well unless the
bullet can be put into the rib cage where little penetration
is needed. With the bullets designed for controlled expan- Three Remington bullets and the Hornady and Western Tool

There are many good big-game bullets available today.
Behind their variety lies a reason. Nearly every ballistics
expert who has worked on bullet design for big game
cartridges has attempted to perfect a bullet that would
work equally well under nearly all hunting conditions and
on all sizes and species of game within reasonable limits.

several years ago with bullet chosen for right combination of
velocity, penetration, and expansion to make sure kill.

There are many experienced hunters who are quite sincere

in the belief that such a perfect, all-purppse bullet does not
exist nor will ever be designed. In short, they claim, there
is no such thing as the "all around" bullet. I agree only
partially with this line of thought. I have found a very
few bullets that have proved quite satisfactory under about
every condition from shooting antelope and mule deer at
extreme ranges, to the heaviest bull elk in thick cover at
close range. Of course, to answer this demand, the bullet
must be of a suitable weight and caliber. Unfortunately
for the fellow who doesn't "roll his own,"he bullets 1
have in mind are custom jobs.
To the seasoned hunter with years of experience, the
wide choice of bullets is a great boon. He picks out what
his experience tells him is the best bullet for the game and
terrain he will hunt, and is happy that he has a variety to
choose from. But for the enthusiast who gets into the field
but once a year, the choice is tougher. The closest thing
to hunting experience is range experience, and to try and
find a common denominator in selecting bullets for definite
kinds of hunting, we have to go to the range. Over a
measured 100 yards, ten fundamentally different bullet
designs were checked out on a uniform target at uniform
velocity. In making these tests to compare the efficiency
of bullets, it was decided to fire all from a .30-06 Spring-
field rifle. This cartridge is perhaps the most popular big-
game caliber in America for everything from 'chucks to
Kodiak bears. The cartridges were handloaded Many of
the bullets were of custom manufacture.
The major part of my hunting in the past few years has
been done with wildcat cartridges and even off-caliber

AFRICAN
RIFLES
AFRICAN HUNTERS ARE NOT ALL
RICH MEN ON SAFARI. RESIDENT
SPORTSMEN HUNT TOO, WITH
THE GUNS THEY CAN AFFORD

Ted Mullis, typical resident African sportsman, rose "through the

ranks" from an old Winchester .44-40 to present 3 7 5 Holland,

w HEN VISITING sportsmen hunt in Africa they usually bring with them
batteries of guns worth a small fortune, many of diem the last word
in custom built models. What with this impressive hardware, plus the
firepower provided by the White Hunter, African game animals face
formidable odds.
But most of us who are lucky enough to live in East Africa at the very
threshold of this fabulous big game country, do not possess such expensive
weavons. We're like desk-bound sportsmen everywhere who take week-end
liun~ingtrips, using the guns we have or can afford.
Ted Mullis is a good example of a gun enthusiast who began his hobby

But like many men who love guns, Ted had to start with weapons a
typical safari hunter would sneer at. His first acquisition cost a mere 150
East African shillings-$20. It was a Winchester .44-40, the 24-inch

sundown, when he first spotted the herd
and located the animal he wanted. He
calculated his m&imum effective range
was only about 50 yards so there was
nothing for it but to start crawling.
The country hereabouts is thick with
thorn bush. Ted wriggled over the un-

avoid the more spiky undergrowth and
keeping an eye open for the snakes.
He encountered no snakes, but he had
his attention fully occupied on a cou-

herd of Grants gazelle had attracted
his attention and, to get a better van-

rocky outcrop, that was the only high
point for miles.
Near the top, he turned his head
around to look for a handhold. The
lioness was standing 15 yards away.
She gave him a fierce glare which was
far from friendly. After a spine-chill-

His only course was to shoot. And all
he had was the .30-30.

a handful of lead pellets instead of a
delicately designed, precision-made bullet, and instead of
gas-checks or bullet jackets tooled to a thousandth of an
inch, a couple of felt wads are good enough to seal the
gas in the bore. But in spite of the utter simplicity of
the shotgun, more people know less about shotguns than
any other weapon. There is a whole popular "mythology"
about what shotguns can and can't do.
"She's a hard shooting gun" is one such myth. How
often have we heard this statement made, and how often
does the speaker sincerely believe it? Yet the reason he
believes .it is that he can hit with his gun, whereas he
misses with others. This must mean that his gun "hits
harder," has more inherent killing power than other guns.

 one advantage and one disadvantage in
comparison with the gunsmith who has
to start from scratch. The advantage
is that, in general, the gun will have
a pretty good polish under the old
blue. The disadvantage is that all
traces of the original blue have to be
removed before the gun can be suc-
cessfully re-blued. Of course, the col-
lector should not refinish an old Colt
or Remington which still has any
original blue left. But a firearm which
may require extensive restoration may
validly be re-blued. Pistols of the
16th and 17th centuries with plain iron
barrels were often heat blued, and
could be so restored.
Heat blue has terrific resistance to
abrasion, and the eager beaver who
tries to remove it by polishing is just
asking for a long, tedius, and infuriat-
ingly difficult job. There are still a few
diehards who insist that grinding and
polishing is the only safe and effective
hay to remove old or damaged blue.
Fortunately for the gun crank, science
does not agree. At London's Victoria
and Albert Museum, which has a
fine collection of firearms and edged
weapons selected mainly for their ar-
tistic merit, the chief metal-working
craftsman, Bob Heatherwood, scoffs at

He is sincere despite the usually recognized

"I dare you axiom that a: good big man will always beat
a good little man." Many gunners do kill
more game with a 20 gauge gun, including
ducks, than they can kiil with a 12. The
explanation is simple. They can shoot 20

to compare gauge guns better than they can shoot 12

gauge guns. It may be just a matter of
weight, or fear of recoil or in the shooter's
head. But no matter what it is, if he thinks
he can shoot better and kiil game deader

any other rifle with a 20 he w i l l probably do just that,

regardless of the cold ballistic fact that it
is impossible.
Some men cannot handle the heavier 12s
to good advantagethey don't swing fast
enough for adequate lead. With a 20, weigh-
ing perhaps a couple of pounds less, their
swing is enough faster to provide correct
lead so that they can and do connect con-

excessive powder load? The old handicap

of number 7% shot will kill just as far and
sometimes farther, because the average gun
will pattern the lighter load better. All the

The average distances at which almost all

I have checked the distances at which I
pick up game. I have been shotgun hunting
for more than 50 years. More than 90%
of my upland game, comprising grouse, wood-
cock, pheasants, quail, doves, and rabbits,
is picked up less than 30 yards from the
gun, and I am not a super-fast shot, either.
First barrel kills are (usually) from 15 to 25
yards. Rarely do I kill with the second
barrel at over 35 yards. My ducks over
decoys are killed at 40 yards or less: some-
times, when the going is good, much less.
It is a rare occasion indeed when I kill a
duck at 50 yards and few indeed are the
men who can do it consistently, even though
their guns and ammunition are quite capable
of the feat. I'm not that good although my

when this is done the gun can be gathered

then be made. If the pistola has been prop-

of the overcoat like an unleashed Nike mis-

A poor location for the handgun is the hip
pocket. Even when this spot is utilized with
a holster which fits inside the pocket it is
still poor. We Americans, poor moderns
that we are, sit all day, and a hunk of steel
in a back pocket isn't conducive to comfort.
Nor for speed of draw, although that is sec-
ondary. Even a gun that has been overhauled
for the business is slow and awkward to draw
from the hip pocket carry.

During that big sporting event which took
so many of our best performers to Europe
and other way stations from '41 to '45, I
became acquainted with an OSS major who
had para-jumped into the Balkans. His onlj
gun was a Colt .32 auto which he taped tc
his thigh. He said he had tried strapping
the weapon to his thigh and to his calf just
below the knee. He liked the thigh carq
best. There was little danger, he claimed, ol
the tape giving way and permitting the gur
to be lost. The adhesive bound itself to the
hair on the leg and would never loosen.

in the world in which he lives, and how it
got that way. Subtitled "A History of War-

professors of military history will help clarify
much thinking on "what gun for NATO?"
and similar problems. It sets forth plainly
so%e of the combat situations which have

MOLYKOTE LUBRICANT has become a

favorite for shooters because it does not show
a noticeable change in density under extreme
temperature conditions, and does not have a
tendancy to collect dust as conventional lubri-
cants do. Excellent when used sparingly for
gun mechanisms, double action revolvers and
automatic systems, and is used by many hand-
.
loaders as a sizing lubricant Molykote is not SKINNING KNIFE with blade made in Nor-
way especially for Morseth Sports Equip-
sold as a rust preventive, but offers some pro-
tection if steel is cleaned first. Try a tube o r ment, Dept. G6, Clinton, Washington, fea-

which allows the knife to have a sharp edge,
yet not be brittle. Often ordinary knife blades
which are "razor sharp" have a steel blade

in rough camp service. Morseth knives have
blades of soft Norway iron wrapped around
the back and sides of hard, high-carbon steel
CROSMAN 180 PELLGUN is the latest in edge which holds an edge and cuts down on
the line of gas powered "guns" using C02, the need for sharpening during even the

arms, although they are not "firearms" since tern is $14.00, and for Bowie-type 6-inch
compressed gas is used. Crosman guns are blade pattern, $16.00. Morseth knives have
noted for their high accuracy, firing .I77 or lifetime guarantee against accidental break-
.22 diabolo pellets yet they are quiet and do age.
