Excerpt from The American Rifle: A Treatise, a d104 Book, and a Book of Practical Instruction in the Use of the Rifle The book is mine in the main. The experiments detailed were mostly conducted by myself unaided, although I have incorporated the results of a number of experiments and much research work undertaken by Dr. Franklin W. Mann, as set forth in his book The Bullet's Flight. I alone am responsible for the opinions expressed herein, and I believe that I have told the truth.
