Years ago, I pulled a bullet on a 1918 dated .303 British..found the shellacked wad & packed tight Cordite. pulled out a few strands with needlenose.
At work, there was a guy who had the idea he had to be better than everyone else..oneupmanship up the wazoo. One day I got fed up with his bragging..took one of his cigs when he was away & carefully used 1/16" drill spun in fingers & bored hole thru center. stuffed a Cordite string in there about 1/4" down from end..placed it first in line back in pack. After lunch, I asked him if he could smoke a cig. right down to filter without a break..No problemo....well, after that smokeless ignited..he sort of got a panicked look on his face..but of course he couldn't quit!..then he started turning green about the gills..seemed in an awful hurry to get to the can when he finally finished it!
