Yep, it's called "Rocket ball" ammo. The powder burns out that back like a bottle rocket. It was a very slow round and not very effective at impact.

I have two friends, "Sensei" Jeff and Richard that assure me they can make the bullets if I find a Volcanic I can afford. No sense in owning it if you can't fire it at least once.

This one makes me drool…
