How a paper cartridge is
How a paper cartridge is made.
To make a paper cartridge you need paper, a form and a measured portion of gunpowder. Without the addition of a musket ball it is a blank cartridge. Blank cartridges do not fire the musket ball and are used for ceremonial salutes and signalling. Adding the musket ball to the paper cartridge makes it into a live round.
A cartridge is made by rolling paper around a form; it is then closed at one end and filled with a measure of gun powder from a powder horn and then closed at the other end and sealed with wax.
