The Minie Ball was invented in 1849 by a French army officer named Claude-Etienne Minie. MiniÃ© the bullet he invented was cylindrical in shape and had a cone on. top
Prior to the development of the minie ball, rifles were not used in combat due to the difficulty in loading. The ammunition used by rifles was the same diameter as the barrel in order for the bullet to engage the groves of the rifled barrel. As a result the ball had to be forced into the barrel.
