[QUOTE="wolfman1, post: 4231986, member: 53876"] That looks like fun. Do you know if the paper cartridges are still available? From wiki: When the Colt Model 1860 was used by 19th century soldiers, they most often loaded the gun using [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_cartridge']paper cartridges[/URL]. These cartridges consisted of a pre-measured load of black powder and a ball, wrapped in nitrated paper (paper that had been soaked in [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_nitrate']potassium nitrate[/URL] and then dried, to make it more flammable). To load each chamber, one only had to slip the cartridge into the front of the chamber and seat the ball with the loading lever ram. Then a percussion cap was placed onto the raised aperture, called a nipple, at the back end of the chamber.[[I][URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed']citation needed[/URL][/I]] [/QUOTE]
