Have you tried a muzzle loading shotgun? I have one and it is a hoot have took some rabbits and a wild turkey with it. Pull the trigger and Wait for the smoke to clear to see if you got it.
Yes, I used to shoot one, but these days I reload 16 ga. shotgun shells with black powder and use them in my antique outside hammer breach loading double.

May this good man rest in peace. Not to disparage these collectors, I see they do a great service in making people aware of history and preserving the relics, but technically, don’t any munitions found in old battlefields rightly belong not to the collector, but to the U.S. government?

BTW, the article mentions "rusty bullets"- Not possible.
I saw that. Who knew that lead rusted in Virginia?

Some of the 30-40 Krag rounds were steel jacketed with a lead core. The only rusty bullets I know of...but they were well after the War Between the States.
The Krag Rifle (scroll down to the ammo section)
