As to the expanders .
If often wondered about them and why the fell from favorable use .
On one had , they were and added step in manufacturing . Combined with that possibly they were deemed not necessary for the type of shooting that projectile was primarily being used for .
Where they somehow less effective then simply producing a thinner skirt ??
Maybe , but then I have to wonder if that was really the case , surly Minie would have just designed the round to have a thinner skirt to begin with
Lots to think about for sure
