[Mark F. Jenkins]

I'll go with Three Times... but I'm actually sure it'd be more than that, given the Union's logistical capabilities. I think the tubes would wear out before they ran out of things to fire out of them. I'm guessing the question is intended to be limited to what they had "at hand."

 

[Eagle eye]

Gen Henry Hunt, artillery Commander of AoP in hs Official report said they had enough ammo to fight one more battle.
OR XXVII pt.1, p 241.
I concur with the General.

 

[GELongstreet]

Twice

 

[ExNavyPilot]

Once. Hunt (Meade's Chief of Artillery) concludes in his official report on Gettysburg that the ammunition supplies were sufficient to "enable the army to fight another battle." However, he apparently had only 70 serviceable guns out of the 360 or so with which he started the battle.

 

[FrazierC]

None?

 

[bixby272]

Twice

 

[Horse]

None, Robert E. Lee already retreated and the Union Army could not fight back right away.
