Controversial Blackpowder Paper Cartridges

Jaymo · Jul 28, 2013

Better the pages get used for cartridges than be thrown in the trash.
It's just a book.
The word of God is more important than the paper upon which it's printed.
It's not like you're burning it out of some sort of atheistic "I hate God" mentality.

Now, the hair curling end papers make a lot of sense to me.
I don't have any scrap Bibles available. We read ours.
Plus, they're cheaper than Zig-Zags.

Great post, Jaymo, that says it all!

Get the Bibles and take them to your local Jail. They need it.

Jepesen chart Paper Cartridge

dodo bird mailed me some Pilot's Jepesen charts to try as paper cartridges. The paper felt significantly thicker than the hair curler paper that I use but I decided to try it in one chamber only. I loaded the other five with hair curler paper sacks. The Jepesen chart paper feels like dictionary paper and is nowhere as thin as cigarette paper of hair curler paper.

Mu paper cartridge sacks leave some residue at the rear of the chamber, which, prior to reloading, is easily pulled out with a telephone company "spudger", which looks a bit like a ball point pen with a wire on the end with a 90 degree bend. The one thickness Jepesen chart paper powder sack fired perfectly with the cap easily igniting the TrippleSeven within but the paper residue was more significant. Result - it is usable but not as good as hair curler paper.

I have attached a photo.

Jepp Charts are almost a thing of the past

onion skin

When I had my 58 I used onion skin paper. You may need to search for it. This was in 1979 and that is all I remember about it. Other than it worked fine.

For cryin' out loud, how expensive can rolling papers be? I mean, it's been a helluva long time, but I don't remember them being "expensive". I'll have to ask on my next trip to the cigar shop.

When I was a young one, I cut out some of the blank pages from a Bible to use as rolling papers. Yes, I was rolling TOBACCO CIGARETTES.

Nowadays I don't stoop to that level of desperation. If you want a good deal on papers just go to Ebay and get some Natural American Spirit rolling papers. They are always on there, and you can usually get them for a good price.

For instance, here's 1800 papers, the bid is at $10.

That's a much better deal than Zig Zags if you ask me. I wouldn't want to pay $3 for 36 papers anyway.

So is this too much for Zig Zags? http://www.wholesalerollingpapers.c...low-Burning-White-Rolling-Papers--_p_551.html

When i was using paper loads i found the "Bugler" brand in the light blue package to be the best and they were just over $1. for 115 GUMMED papers.

IMO thats the benifit of the rolling papers is the glue is already on it.

I only went threw one package 115 when i realized i got better shots without them. I noticed paper was hanging around inside the chambers when i got home and i didnt want any embers hanging around in the chambers after a round of shooting.

They were fun in the begining but the quick charge tubes blows the rolling papers idea away. A simmilar setup as far as preloading and it makes loading faster but i dont have to worry about the paper not burning up no dud charges and they are reusable.

Greaseproof Paper for Baking Cakes is ideal,very strong and comes in big rolls that will last.An alternative to the Bible could be the Koran.

Please go back and read post 22. You will see that I am successfully using hair rolling papers. My most recent post was simply an update on the pilot's paper. I certainly didn't intend to unleash another firestorm. For the record, I am NOT using bible pages.

I poke a hole in the paper with my nipple pick

Okay one final comment. using the single layer foldover method that I use, no prick of the paper is necessary. The percussion cap ignites through the paper with 100 percent reliability.

From chapter 29 of Treasure Island:

"The black spot! I thought so," He observed.
"Where might you have got the paper? Why, hillo! Look here, now;
this aint lucky! You've gone and cut a Bible. What fool's cut a Bible?"

"Ah, there!," said Morgan. "There! Wot did i say? No good'll come o'that, I said."

It's the Word of God not the Paper of God! What's in your heart is what matters. I'd say praise the lord and pass the ammunition!

OK, I admit I have not read the entire post in detail, just scanned it. So, if I missed I apologize in advance.

The answer seems very simple to me.

USE A KORAN
