Today I have begun attempting to make paper cartridges. Although I now have 3 percussion Sharps firearms, I have always been lazy and just dumped powder in taking care not to get it shifted to the fore stock (that could be a bit more excitement than this ole guy needs)
Anyway, so far I have not completed any. I got my dowel and made a paper templet using a cottage cheese container lid.
I cast my bullets with a Pedersoli Christmas Tree mold. They have a place to tie them in place with a silk thread.
I have been told that post it note work good as paper.
I am having difficulty tying the bullet to the paper. Apparently you can glue it in place. What kind of glue is used for this?
I would appreciate any ideas on how to successfully do this. I have looked at I believe all of the youtube videos at this point.
