US Civil War - Union Williams "Cleaner" Bullets

The two most commonly issued bullets for the Union during the Civil War was the Burton Minié and the Williams Improved Type 2.   In this video we discuss the origins of the American minié, explain how it and he Williams bullets work, but also dispel the myth that the Williams Improved bullet was intended to clean a fouled bore.
