The weight, roundness, and evenness, make these shot kill at a greater distance than any other, though a less quantity is required to charge the gun ... Patent shot, at 2d 1/2 the pound, or at £ 1.4s.0d the hundred, bags included. Good common shot, at 15s 9d the hundred, carriage &amp; bags to be paid for.</dc:description><dc:description>Sheet trimmed to plate mark.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
