Wingbone, Never knew they made a kit for making them. What all comes with it and how does it work? I made many of them the old fashion way but never really liked them. For some reason I was getting to much preasure and my caps were acting strang. Had a few hang fires too.I'm sure most of my problems were caused by a dummy named, ME!!

paper cartridge
The kit seems simple enough, soak the paper in nitrate solution. Roll it over the proper size dowel, which is supplied in .36 and .44 cal. fold the end and glue it. Then glue the ball in. Too easy? I've never shot cap and ball but have 2 I'd love to try. Thanks for your feedback. I hope he dosent mind but his description reads:
