Bought nice price at an auction. Here I'm shooting 80grs FFg behind a .69 ball. I made my own way to make paper cartridge with minimum mess. I prepare paper tubes closed at one end then Iput inside, in the order, 2/8" 16 ga. cork wad, ball, 16 ga. cardboard disk, powder. Then I make the fold and dip the tube, ball side, in melted grease just the height of the ball. Loading is easy: bit the fold ant pour powder, then reverse the tube and put it into the barrel until carboard disk is flush with the muzzle. rip off the paper in excess and throw away the disk. Ram the load and you are ready. In the pic the result
