In Response To: Re: Carrying black powder. ()

Where can I obtain ready-made flash paper (nitrite paper) casings for a .58 cal. musket? Just the ignition paper casing that I can load with powder and ball then just ram it home without biting off the end of the paper? Does anyone evem make them? A friend said he saw some on e-bay but you can see anything on e-bay. He also told me that Pyrodex comes with premolded powder that you can insert into the musket barrel or revolver cylinders and put a ball on top of it. Those would lessen the chace of a chain-fire.

I don't like the idea of pouring powder down a hot Enfield barrel without washing and drying it first.
