Been watching the Ken Burns Civil War documentary as I turn the handle on my press and it jogged my memory. What does it take to shoot minie balls out of a T/C Hawken? I seem to recall that some guys have to size them and that you shouldn't push your powder charge up too much. Why would you need to size these things? Are they capable of good accuracy? Ballistics any better than, say, a lee REAL or a maxi ball? I might be interested in shooting them just for giggles, but if they would knock down a cow elk any better than the other conicals I use I am open to it.
