Underdog Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Looks like a minie ball....is it hollow based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeboy Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) it is yes, found it in an out building at my grandparents house bout 25yrs ago. was always curious what was used to fire them Edited June 5, 2014 by dukeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 French chap Minie...he designed it. It is under sized...bore size so it is easily loaded in military muzzleloaders like .577 Enfields and Springfields and Zouaves...used alot in the American civil war. The pressure in the hollow base expands it to the rifling on firing. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini%C3%A9_ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukeboy Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 thanks underdog, highly unlikely something they would have used then. I have an uncle into war memorabilia so propably something he had picked up somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
