Cast Minie Ball In A Cartridge Question

Well... I've done muzzle loading round balls (soft lead) in cartidges before (.45 Colt case with a lead round ball pushed in) and they sorta work... the biggest problem I see with using a cast muzzle loading Minni is that if it's cast soft lead for muzzle loading use, then it might be too soft if pushed at smokeless powder velocities... if you do load them soft, I'd load black powder or 777 powder in the case instead of any modern smokeless powder....
my two cents worth... GRIN
