[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 1806530, member: 656"] The musket fired a Minie Ball which is more easily compared to a conical shotgun slug. Most likely what happened, is that there was a small space where the Minie Ball never seated all the way to the powder charge. I rammed it to what seemed like the proper depth, however it had been a year or two since I "live fired" it. The rust made me think that it was seated on the powder charge, when in fact, it wasn't; the rust was "grabbing" the lead. The musket was usually used in Civil War reenactments predominantly. ........keep in mind, it wasn't a lot of rust either. [/QUOTE]
