Paper round ball cartridges

[rusticbob]

Looking to make and try some paper round ball cartridges. 50 and 45 cal. , going to a Primitive Biathlon in February and it might help with quicker loading. February in Vermont can be a bit chilly.

Got a hunting buddy that does that. Before his trip he makes up a dozen or so loads. He uses flash paper. He makes it by soaking tissue paper in a solution he makes up so the paper flashes when hit by spark or flame. His solution is nitric acid and sulfuric acid so it's not for the faint of heart, and can hurt you if you do not take the proper safety precautions. There are several articles on it and you can purchase it.

I have pre made loads by rolling measured charges in paper, then I tear off one end and pour in the powder. Not as cool or as fast, but effective.

I had forgotten about this method. Thanks for bringing this subject up.
