You CAN make cigarette paper cartridges, and with an inline capper ... It would be better than a flintlock! So it never ends.

How do you do that?
Hm, I have a Remington 1858 Army .451. There are various ways to make paper cartridges. Some use regular paper or onionskin paper coating it with saltpeter. You basically wrap around a tube, drop in your 25-30 grains of FFFg, and glue the ball on one end, twisting or gluing the other end.
Worked for Johnny and Billy, though they are delicate.

Got-cha. I always used mine old school. powder, lubed ball, and vaseline.
