The New Style Minie has been described as "the work-horse" or “the standard” among skirmish shooters. Jack Rawls and Jimmy Fulton, both members of the North South Skirmish Association, designed the New Style Minie in the 1950s when skirmish shooting began. The 1950s was a time before reproduction rifle muskets were manufactured and original/older well worn rifle muskets were used. Their design was based upon the Harper’s Ferry minie, it maintained the ogive style of the older minies but recreated it with the following changes: an increased body length for greater contact with rifling, from a conical to a parabolic cavity, and a thinner skirt. Their new design in the 1950s improved the shooting for the older worn barrels with less than perfect bores. Today some reproduction barrels with shallow grooves in the rifling and/or less than perfect bores have been able to shoot accurately with this bullet, so it still has a place among skirmish shooters. It was a new style in the 1950s but today it has become another classic.
