Dingel, I noticed from the "reviews" on the Dixie Arms ads on Pedersoli ML shotguns that some of the guys who purchased these also use them for re-enactments (mainly as Rebs, I suspect). Was reading the journal of a Yankee vet ("Four Years in the Iron Brigade"). Among his three gunshot wounds in the war was a buckshot wound at The Wilderness. I wondered if that was from a Johnnie with an old .69 musket and the "Indian fighter" buck-and-ball load (used by both sides and certainly appropriate for the Wilderness) or some poor boy who just brought along his daddy's shotgun....never know, of course.
