    Cumberland (Minie) bullet?

    Hello:

    Searching here for info on the RCBS-Hodgdon semi-wadcutter Minie ball produced a post that called it a "cumberland" bullet.

    Please share why this modern Minie variant is also called "cumberland".

    Many thanks,

    Heard from Phil Spaugy:

    I mistakenly referred to "cumberland" as the nick-name for the RCBS minie.

    Phil just shared that he simply called the RCBS minie the "Monticello" bullet because of its resemblance to Thomas Jefferson's home.

    Thanks, Phil.
