This is a follow up post to a prior from New Years weekend. I had the chance to shoot my "new to me" Mk II Martini Henry. I fired 9 rounds of vintage Kynoch rounds, and one of those was a dud. Little pop, but no kick.
So out of curiosity, I removed the bullet. The interior of the case was packed solid. I dig around with an awl, and this is what I removed. Is this normal? Does not look like any powder I have ever seen.

So what are we looking at?
