Some re-enactor friends of mine told me of a problem they had with minie's when they were shooting this past fall. Now they are re-enactors and as far as I know they only live fire once a year. The problem they had was two different muskets had the last ring on the minie seperate when they fired and blocking the flash hole. They said the bullets looked ok but I have a feeling that something is wrong with the bullets since two different muskets had the same problem. Wrinkles in the bullets, or hard lead came to mind. Anybody out there who may have had this problem? Thanks, John
