Shooting Skin Cartridges in Cap and Ball Revolvers

Description of reproduction Civil War era Skin Cartridges as made according to the book "Making the Skin Cartridge" by W.J.L. Schroeder.  These factory made cartridges were very popular during the Civil War and up to the end of the Percussion era.  Test firing at the range to determine ignition, reliability and accuracy. Also showing the "Star Cappers" made by Crossin Cartridge Formers.

I will be testing in a 2020 produced Pietta Model 1861 Navy revolver and a 1873 produced Euroarms New Model Navy in .36 Caliber.  

The bullet used is the .36 Colt Cartridge Works, cast from a mold by Eras Gone Bullet Molds at:  www.erasgonebullets.com

The book can be found here (I mention a Kindle version in the video, but I was mistaken)
