    Interesting video.
    Try "Lock N Load - Rifles" on You Tube where R Lee Ermey shoots a large cow bone with an Enfield Rifle in slow motion footage.
    I shoot a Parker Hale 3 Band 577 Enfield.
    It never ceases to amaze me how devastating a bullet the Minie Ball is.
    How soldiers could have lined up, facing each other in a field with these firearms knowing how accurate & deadly they are is beyond me.
    I couldn't have done it !!!
    I think the only other bullet that would scare me as much would be the round ball from a Brown Bess because of the size .75 cal.
    Love the History behind these firearms.
