Too much trouble.....

[Sun City]

in my opinion to mess with loading paper cartridges! I'm pretty dexterous with my hands but in loading some paper cartridges for my New Model Army .44 revolver and no more trouble than it is to carry loading components in the field....I will opt for doing just that!

I tried that myself. Even got the kit, one out of three would come out good. Not perfect. After 30 minutes or so, I gave up. Definitely not for me. I did pretty good with just the powder and paper. Load it and ram the ball on top.

"Easier" overall is not the reason for making and using paper cartridges.

And it takes more than 30 minutes of practice to get it down. I've lost count of the paper cartridges I ruined and had to tear up to reclaim powder and ball.

There is a learning curve like anything else. I enjoy making paper cartridges for my pistols, caps also. It’s really nice to have them all made up while shootIng.
