Percussion Besses in Civil War?

[Va.Manuf.06]

I also refer you to the book "Never for the want of powder" by C.L. Bragg. On page 138-139 it was reviewing 1863 production for the Augusta Powder Works. This included 40,000 .75 Caliber Buck & Ball Loads for the Brown Bess Muskets.
I certainly grant that this pales in comparison to to loads for Enfileds, but this certainly indicates useage.

Thanks for the contribution. Of course that caliber would also fit the British Pattern 1842 musket, which also saw limited use.
