Well, that's pretty interesting. I saved the picture in a file, and then enlarged it enough so that my old eyes could read it. I'll bet the hunters were better marksmen than I am. Jeff

They show up fairly regularly on ebay and in Wards Auctions.

During the 1930s Western Cartridge Co. put out a lot of paper. I have nine variations of the SUPER-X The Long Range Load booklet from 4-30 to 10-35 --
SUPER-X The Long Range Load, 4-30 and 2-33
SUPER-X The Long Range Load, 4-30 and 2-33
and there may be more. I also have three of them from the 1920s. A new ammo catalog or price list every few months, numerous folders on Super-X, Lubaloy, Xpert and Seal-Tite wads. In 1933 they put out this booklet titled HOW TO HIT 'EM --
HOW TO HIT 'EM front cover
HOW TO HIT 'EM front cover
HOW TO HIT 'EM back cover
HOW TO HIT 'EM back cover
and in 1934 the Days With Super-X. Then in 1937 they began publishing the Western Ammunition Handbook --
Western Ammunition Handbooks
Western Ammunition Handbooks
which continued at least well into the 1950s.

I have this one. It's green, as you can see, and is the 6th edition. What year would it be?

I believe it is circa 1940. It is the first edition to show the Xpert skeet & Trap loads with the "Super-Seal Crimp" and it discusses 1939 winners of trap and skeet events.
