Amendment Aims to Add One Million Dollars to Militia Budget
Washington declares a proposed amendment to the Dick bill would raise the annual militia appropriation to one million dollars for national guard needs. The measure would fund rifle ranges and shooting galleries, allow state purchases from the War Department, and cover horses and quartermaster supplies. General Bird W. Spencer notes range shortages and outlines a push to expand facilities including Sea Girt and Creedmoor. He adds clubs may obtain rifles and ammunition under act guidance, with affiliation to the National Rifle Association.

For hunting small game, it performs better than high velocity bullets due to the soft point. Best results come from eight grains Laflin and Rand sharpshooter powder with a tin lead alloy bullet.
