    Rolling papers for combustible cartridges?

    Nitrated adds a flash that helps scare the enemy on the other side and impresses the yokels. Too much time on my hands I am an old man must have been alive in civil war I feel like that some days lololol.

    Anyone shooting paper cartridges in 36 & 44 caliber?

    I am sure that a thin paper burns well. I just use nitrated as I read about that and it insures that all burns up . Plus it adds to flash from muzzle end and it scares the yokels (or impresses the hell out of them lololol). I guess I am a bit obsessive and I have too much time on my hands. I dip...

    Rolling papers for combustible cartridges?

    Holding a paper cartridge by the balls lololol with twisted end (with a dab of glue) so it holds better at range before I cut it off for loading. That's my bottle of potassium nitrate in solution and I am dipping them (very quick in and out ) briefly then dry them. It is just a labour of love...

    Anyone shooting paper cartridges in 36 & 44 caliber?

    There it is in a nutshell dipping in nitrate solution and rolling table with tubes glued to ball. I make tubes first then with a glue that has a nozzle I run a small bit around tube end and put ball in. Come on it does not take forever and you get used to it

    I use raw brown papers the double size pacvks and I take the whole bunch out at one time fold em and cut them in half ,perfect size for a 454 ball with 28 grains and a twist end. I put a dad of glue on the twist (from a glue stick just rubbed a touch ) this keeps a tight roll before shooting and...
