Although I myself have not dug any minie balls that have screw holes in the nose, meaning they were pulled from the bore, I know relic hunters who have dug them and I have seen one or two. I believe those who lived their entire lives using nothing but muzzleloaders, making sure the powder preceded the projectile were not that prone to get the order wrong. Not saying it didn’t happen, especially during the heat of a Napoleonic type battle.
