Anyone have any experience with these? I am going to try them in my T/C New Englander next time out along with several other projectiles. If I used them for hunting, it would be fore WTs.

They shoot well in a lot of rifles. My NewEnglander does fairly well with them, but there are other bullets it likes a lot better.

I've not had a lot of luck with them ... accuracy wise. But that is not saying they will not work for you. I have a mold for them and have tried them in a lot of rifles..

cherokee75, the Minies were designed for civil war muskets to speed up loading, they were very conservative of powder then,they shot quite well for me out of a BrownBess musket but only with 60 or 65 grs of powder. Its a guess but I dont think the skirt will stand up to any more powder than that. Lee
