Ajax, I have a 1858 Enfield Euroarms that was doing the exact same thing at 100 yards on my first shot. I fixed the problem by running a patch lubed with butter bore down the barrel a few times. Although, if every shot is doing that, sounds like you may have bigger problems. You may want to lower your charge, at 50 yards, 60 - 70 grains would be plenty powerful enough to kill a deer. I've read that Enfield recommmended 68 grains, although 60 was the standard back in the day.
