Newbie question - 30gr Pyrodex pellets in 1851 brasser?

[armoredman]

Im a firm strong hater of pyrodex, wont even have it in my home. But i completely understand your need for something convenient and premeasured. The pyrodex pellets for some reason or other deteriorate faster. I have heard of so many shooters who try them the next hunting season and they just pfffft...barely burn. Im sure it also has to do with storage conditions but some have mentioned that they stored them well etc but still get squibs. The powdered version also has a shelf life but it lasts longer than pellets. Now back to the convenience factor...why not make your own pellets? I make my own out of black powder..well they arent actually pellets but are shaped like them and are just as convenient. Theyre a paper cartridge without bullet so i can choose the bullet/ball of my choice. They even come with built in lube disk.

How do you make those paper "cartridges" and how do they work?

I have a write up on how i make them...and tbey work amazingly perfect. They have an over powder card and thib lube disk to prevent gas cutting and keep fouling soft.
Check out this link as it will show how i makw them:

Thanks Kid, didn't know that. Would have thought just the opposite. However, not sure I'd want to go through the whole nitrating process anyhow.
