Enfield Martini Henry 0.577/450

[M99]

Well!

I have never really been a fan of BP - but today I squeezed off 5 rounds with a really sweet Enfield in 0577/450 - managed a 5 round group of just over 2 inches @ 100 yds :P

I really did enjoy shooting it too - even the clouds of toilet paper? made me smile!

well done, do you know what the loading was?

I don't - I should have paid more attention but was grinning too much - there was a lot of "confetti" going down the range!

I was more pleased as a couple of the others struggled to get it on the target - I had worked out from watching the others shoot, that it was shooting about 8" high at 100 - so I aimed at the base of the target and got a neat group in the middle.

MHs are a blast. I disagree with the notion that they kick like mules.

... they kick like cart horses, Shires, in fact.

First time I took my MkIV 577/450 to the range and opened up on the rifle line with a cloud of white smoke the range master sauntered over and asked to see my Environmental Protection Agency hazmat permit! I think he was joking....I bought him off with a loaded round for his collection!
