What is a rifle musket?
A rifle musket is a musket that has a rifled barrel. Until the mid 19th century, the standard infantry weapon of most of the world's armies was a smoothbore, long-barreled, muzzleloading musket with a relatively large bore. Rifles, with shorter barrels and smaller bores were also in use, but primarily by specialized troops. With the invention of the Minie style bullet, which allowed much faster loading than the traditional patched ball, the more accurate rifling started to replace a smooth bore as the standard for infantry use. Initially, existing smooth bore muskets were converted to "rifled-muskets". The term meaning a musket that had been rifled. In the mid 1850s new musket designs such as the British Pattern 1853 (Enfield) and the US Model 1855 (Springfield) became the standard. These weapons, which were originally designed with rifled barrels, were called "Rifle Muskets" or "Rifle-Muskets" to distinguish them from the shorter barreled rifles.

How did the new British rifles cause problems for the Hindu and Muslim Sepoys?
The Indian Rebellion of 1857 was initiated over the newly-issued Pattern 1853 Enfield rifles. When the weapon reached India and replaced the standard Brown Bess musket, the Sepoy soldiers reacted with horror. This was because it was believed that the cartridges that were standard issue with the new rifle were greased with either cow fat, which insulted the Hindu population, or lard, which was considered unclean in Muslim culture. Additionally, British training at the time drilled soldiers to bite the cartridge when reloading their weapon in order to increase their rate of fire. As a result, the Sepoys rejected the Enfield rifles and rebelled against the British East India Company, starting the first Indian War of Independence, which ultimately resulted in the crushing defeat of the rebels and the end of company rule in India.
