Breech or muzzle loaded? Propellant? Looks like a hoot to shoot.

I got to fire a 155mm a few times as a guest with a Marine artillerary group out of El Paso several years ago and it took me a week to get the smile off my face. I could see the projectile going up through the clouds, if I looked REAL quick. Their first round hit within 50 yards of the target, at 13 miles! They knew what they were doing!
