Hello from Arkansas

[bushytailforever]

New to the forum but not new to blackpowder. I'm looking forward to learning some new stuff and finding out more guns I can't live without. The big catalyst for joining was looking for info on paper cartridges.

Well, there is a section on Smoothbores, and a lot of us make and use paper cartridges for hunting, or for reenactment blanks,
And there is a section on Handguns, and a lot of the guys make and use paper cartridges for those.

Paper cartridges were used before metallic cartridges became the norm and were made of paper that contained the bullet, gunpowder, and sometimes even a primer or lubricant. They were commonly used in the 17th-19th centuries and were a popular choice.
There are still people who enjoy making their own paper cartridges using modern materials like hair curling paper, toilet paper, and glue stick. There are even kits available that provide everything you need to get started.

Welcome from New York State's Central-Leatherstocking region.

I hunt with a 0.662"(16 bore) smoothbore and paper non-combustable cartridges. Definately recommend you follow that star.
