Gerald,
Unfortunatly all the projectiles fired at Camp Grayling since 1987 have been inert solid shot. No exploding ordnance allowed. In the "Artillery through the ages" special event in 1987, some fused shot was fired by a 6 pdr Field gun and a 12 pd. Howitzer. Percussion shells were fired by Ordnance rifles, 10 & 30 pound Parrott Rifles at targets over a mile distant. There is a video tape of this event offered on Ebay.
