I tried my homemade .44 paper cartridges yesterday for the first time, and beginning with the second cylinder, had some ignition problems. I was shooting a Pietta Remington New Army repro. The cartridges were made with Bugler papers and Goex FFFg. One chamber did not fire even after the third cap. (Hangfire precautions were observed.) Upon removing and inspecting the cylinder, I found some large pieces of unburnt paper lining the bottom (back) of a couple of chambers. After removing the paper residue, I had no further problems. Has anyone else experienced this?
The videos I have watched on Youtube have not mentioned this problem. I would like to know whether there is a better type of paper to use, and if so, please provide a source.
