The short rifles and also the long rifles fitted with wind-guage sights wore new we'pons, and, therefore, those who carried out the tests had no previous knowledge of their shooting capacities.
The ammunition was specially selected by the King's Norton Ammunition Com pany, and was of strictly Government made specially specification, and not that for long-range practice.
The test was carried out on the 11th inst. at Bisley, and the ranges selected were 200, 600, and 800, yards,
As many trial shots were taken as proved necessary, and, when the correct sighting was obtained, a series of seven shots was fired by all (with two exceptions at 800 in order to ensure equality of conditions, yards) with each rifle at each range, and, the firing was conducted by groups of three men, a rifle of each pattern being used simultaneously.

1. That the new rifle is badly balanced, the weight being too much at the muzzle
This is due to the facts that a consider- able amount of wood has been bored out of the butt in order to decrease the weight of the rifle, and that the additional weight of the wooden cover to the fore-end, together with the heavier metal nose-cap, all tend to throw the balanço further forward.
