Enfield Cartridge Rabbit Hole

[tjiann]

Just FYI, I used to do a lot of relic hunting around Spottsylvania back 25 years ago…dug lottsa fired Enfields with the wooden plugs still present…they were enfolded in the lead when the bullets impacted, I guess.

That's pretty cool and makes sense as their job was to move from the base up towards the top of the bullet and help expand the skirt into the rifling.
