    Minie Cartridges for .58-cal rifle-muskets. ​These were the most common cartridges used in the American Civil War, by far!

This cartridge is versatile and was designed to work in both .577 Enfield and .58 Springfield rifled muskets.

    Comes housed in 5 x 6 riker display case with black velvet and descriptive card.
