I am sure the veterans at muzzle loading and reenacting already know this but I found the solution to loading a revolver or musket without using a hazardous powder flask.

I can buy nitrited cartridge paper and then roll my own paper tubes and load my own cartridges, with or without a ball or conical bullet. However, I feel like the best solution to the problem is to use the flexible color coded and molded nylon quick loading tubes that can be reused indefinately. You can load your cartridge box with the reusible tubes containing the appropriate amount of black powder, ball or conical bullet or you can just load powder, a Wonder Wad and no projectile. A box of fifty reusable reloading tubes costs $14.50, including shipping. For pistol or musket use, you can buy the musket size tubes, each having a capacity of 100 gr. of black powder and cut them back as needed for a 20 gr., .36 cal. Colt revolver or 45 gr., .44 cal. Walker revolver.

I found out that I can make my own nitrited paper by using onion skin paper and soaking it in pie pan full of a concentrated solution of potassium nitrate and water then let the paper hang dry. I could then ram the whole nitrated cartridge and ball down the muzzle in one operation without having to bite the cartridge, powder down and seat the projectile. The paper cartridge tubes would not be waterproof like old skin cartridge tubes but I will not be shooting the the rain.

Any thoughts on this?
