From an early Winchester Catalog -


WINCHESTER REPEATING RIFLE
at a TRIAL by the
Official Swiss Commission, at Aarau, Switzerland

caliber 44/100

large squares indicate half of a foot
small squares indicate one-tenth of a foot


The rifle used was an infantry model. 28 of 30 shots in one square foot at 300 paces. Impressive!
