Im not the author. Just passing this on for interest sake. I read that the rifle WAS an original Enfield. What Not to do at a shoot. All, Im sure you heard the big bang during the pigeon board in second phase, followed by the cease fire and ambulance. The explanation is below, and thank goodness the poor fellow behind the buttplate, and his file mates, are all OK. A good reminder to be careful, both on the line and in the shop. Here are the musket failure photos. The word from the range officer is that the skirmisher somehow had received smokeless powder from a friend in a black powder can and mixed it up with his black powder supply. He proceeded to load 55 grains. Talk about a magnum load!
