To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The requirements of a good sporting powder are (1) It should be stable and should keep well under ordinary conditions. This depends largely on the purity of the ingredients and particularly on that of the nitro- cellulose. (2) It should be regular in its shooting, i. E. The pressure, muzzle velocity, and " pattern " should not vary beyond certain limits. (3) The smoke and unconsumed residue should not be noticeable. (4) The recoil and report should be reduced to a minimum. During one of the big... covert shoots of the present day, or in a day's grouse or partridge driving, the cartridges fired by each gun of a party will probably amount to many hundreds, and the quality of the blow dealt r by each on the shoulder and the ear-drum may make all the difference between enjoyment and the reverse. (5) It should be well adapted to the cap with which it is intended to be used, otherwise slight hang-fires may result, and nothing is more irritating to a shooter. (6) It should not call for any special skill on the part of the cartridge loader.
