Synopsis
The Sporting Rifle And Its Projectiles by James Forsyth. The book surveys the objects and conditions of military and sporting rifles, arguing that the military aim is to disable an enemy at long range, while sporting rifles require moderate weight, easy loading, ample penetration, and a flat trajectory for practical shooting distances. It covers the principles of modern gunnery, including projectile motion under gravity and air resistance, and the stabilizing effect of a controlled rotation imparted by rifling. Forsyth then applies these principles to evaluate different systems—from smooth-bore spherical-ball rifles to conical and expanding projectiles, to shell rifles—and discusses their performance, safety, and loading methods. The work also details breech-loaders, the Lefaucheaux design, and the practicalities of ordering a rifle, sighting arrangements, maintenance, and field testing in tropical terrain. Interlacing theory with a lifetime of Indian field experience, Forsyth presents a framework for choosing and using a sporting rifle with informed judgment.
