Here is a “dug” three-groove minie ball with a slight extension from the cavity. This flaw is likely caused by the base plug not being properly seated in the mold.

This casting error has made for an interesting variation on the typical “three-ringer.”

Recovered near Fredericksburg, VA.  [jet] [ph:jet]
