The United States Army made the decision to arm it's troops with a muzzle loader. One reason stated was the excessive expenditure of ammunition that would occur if they went with a breechloader.
Later in the war were reports done on actual ammunition expenditure by regiments armed with breech loaders? Such as Wilders Brigade at Chickamagua. If yes, where will I find these reports? What type of ammunition supply would a regiment equipped with breech loaders take into battle?
