blunderbuss

Well, I finally did it. After lusting over it for the better part of a year, I finally broke down and bought the Pecatonica Blunderbuss parts set. http://longrifles-pr.com/blunderbuss.shtml I'm very new at this muzzleloader building stuff, but I figure this should be a good learning...

I've been trying to find out if any 18th century military ever made pure buckshot paper cartridges for blunderbusses (buck and ball cartridges are another discussion). The only buckshot cartridges I know of for certain are the ones made by the US military in the early-mid 19th century for the...
