To quote Alan's info:

On Apr. 23, 1863, he requisitioned 1000 ball cartridges and 127 musket flints, which tells us how this company was armed.

I believe that this confirms the .69 cal. matter, since we see a requisition for "ball" cartridges. Any odd duck 70+ cal. ammunition would be specifically designated as such. The common ball ammo was .69 cal.
