    Fun fact
    One of the requirements to join the British army during the hay day of paper cartridges was that you had to have at least two teeth that met in your mouth for biting the tail off of the cartridge and yes I will admit that biting off the tail of a paper cartridge is in fact one of the funner parts of shooting a flintlock.

    Been using paper revolver cartridges for over 20 years. Coffee filters, nitrated and formed by compression molds into tubes...then dried and filled. No wrap like my musket or rifle rounds.
    I use the waxed paper packages that hold 6 rounds and 10 caps, which tear open like a cigarette pack using a thread. I make those too, and two packs fit in my Union officers cartridge small pouch (box) on my belt.

    A buddy and I on a Saturday or two every Winter spend time sitting at a bench chatting and making paper cartridges with all the products you listed, and storing them in cartridge boxes, though empty altoid mint boxes work in a pinch. Then we spend another Saturday or two in the Spring firing them for a change of pace from metal cartridges. Good buddy time and fun. Stored well and dry I have had paper cartridges last 4 years without a problem, and I'm sure they would last longer. Takes a few to practice on to get it right then it goes pretty fast and is fun.

    When I was at school we all used fountain pens so we had to use cartridge paper to remove any excess ink from writing and so fourth. That's when I discovered the origins of cartridge paper. Of course ours was not treated with potassium nitrate. We had enough problems with inky fingers and blots in the school books without the cartridge paper catching fire.

  • @BogeyTheBear
    @BogeyTheBear Рік тому +1

    You're correct about the nitrated paper. Soaking paper in a potassium nitrate solution will make it more flammable- the paper fibers get coated with the nitrate, which acts as an oxidizing agent.
    It should be noted this is different from flash paper: Genuine flash paper is soaked in nitric acid which changes the actual chemistry of the paper into nitrocelluouse. Nitrated paper is still paper, while flash paper is really a thin sheet of explosive celluoid.

    Congratulations on 100K that's awesome! Great video! I have been shooting black powder for 35 years, give or take. I have two Colt Navy .44 and a Remington 1858 sheriffs model (reproductions of course, I ain't rich) I've never shot paper cartridges but thanks to you and this video I've ordered a kit so I will be soon!

    That's awesome Santee! Congratulations. Absolutely love your videos. They always brighten my Saturday morning. And as someone who has played for several musicals and been in a few, I love the sound bytes and references to them. Thanks Ghost Riders!
