The white cartridges are 1860 pattern British Enfield cartridges with slits and base plugs. They were made by Brett Gibbons. He sent them to me to charge with 68 grains 2F Goex and I will test shoot them in my Euroarms P1853 Enfield with Whitacre barrel with correct progressive-depth rifling.
The tray full of brown cartridges are copies of Confederate Enfield cartridges based on the British 1855 pattern. They have no slits and no base plugs. I have a batch loaded with 68 grains 2F, and the rest is a load workup from 45 grains to 70 grains 3F to see what is most accurate.
The small batch of brown cartridges are Confederate Enfield cartridges as above but I put plugs in them to see if the plugs make a difference.
