American James Burton improved on the original design of the “Minie Ball.” How did he make it more effective?

In the early 1850s, James Burton of the U.S. Armory at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, improved further on the Minié bullet by eliminating the need for the iron plug and making it easier and cheaper to mass-produce. It was adapted for use by the U.S. military in 1855.

i do believe the answer is false.
