US use of Enfield Cartridges at Shiloh

[Pritchett Ball]

OK, I remember a posting some time back of an account of a US soldier at Shiloh, loading and firing captured Confederate Enfield ammo. I believe that someone posted that account here on the ACBB.

I'm having a hard time with "search" trying to locate that account. Can anyone help me who knows of that account?

I cant speak to Shiloh, But in a area where the 6th Corps was before, during, and after Fredericksburg. I found a spot where they must have been clearing their muskets prior to entering camp, and have pulled a few Enfield bullets out.
