Perfect U.S. .69 Musketoon Minie Ball Made at the Frankfort Arsenal in 1859
.
This Cold Harbor found ball was made to fit in the M-1816 Rifled musket, which was an 1816 flintlock converted to percussion fire and given a rifled barrel. This conversion provided faster loading and somewhat greater range, but was no match for the .58 Springfield and Enfield. Many Confederates and some Union soldier marched off to fight carrying this weapon and forty rounds of very heavy ammo. See T & T handbook sold on this ebay site, Pg. 65, #185 (item #
