[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Thought this might be interesting. When I worked at the ROTHR Transmitter site in New Kent, Virginia, the site was thick with Civil War rounds from the Peninsula Campaign.

Those rounds are worth a lot of money

Can they be re-used?

I would assume the caliber was this, but if they were fired from an American Longrifle they pretty much could have been anything from .32 to .58, maybe even .62 Any Historians out there, I would much appreciate any info you could give me.

What caliber was a Brown Bess musket?
.75
Brown Bess
British Land Pattern Musket a.k.a. Brown Bess
Length 58.5 in (1,490 mm)
Barrel length 42.0–46.0 in (1,070–1,170 mm)
Cartridge paper cartridge, buck and ball/roundball undersized (.69/17.5 mm) to reduce the effects of powder fouling
Calibre .75–.80 (19–20mm)

“Great American Outdoors Act project.”

is this a reenactment with the Minutemen dressed in drag or to honor those Minutemen who were gay?

I know what needs to be done with those balls and it involves shoving them up libtard’s butts

The “Shot Heard ‘Round the World” occurred earlier in Lexington. If any musket balls are found there they’d almost certainly be from British muskets. Lexington was more massacre than battle. Concord was where the red coats were stopped and forced into retreat.
