Ok, REALLY dumb question

[1-12 INF (M)]

I use an empty rifle cartridge case (.308 for .44, .223 or .300 BO for .36) plugged with the silicone plugs used in powder coating. Very inexpensive and the bottle neck case makes the powder easy to load in the cylinder.

Skin cartridges are similar to paper cartridges, but made with animal intestine. Prep is significantly more involved, but the cartridges are tougher and more waterproof than paper.

Not as difficult as everyone thinks. The majority (99.9999999) percent of the info. that you find on the computer is from people that have no Idea how to make them.. Typically takes no more time to make them than it does nitrated paper jobs if you have the knowledge and materials to do it.

I am almost afraid to ask what a skin cartridge is - I refuse to graft myself to make ammo, and I don't know any willing donors...
Ephraim, those links are great - I think I will be spending some money with BlockadeRunner as soon as I can.

your looking for willing donors,,, hahaha,,, plenty of unwilling ones that need to be donors these days it seems. but the grocery store meat section is safer, and you don't have to clean them..... hahahahahah

I use nitrated coffee filters.

I use nitrated coffee filters.

Hair curling papers work great. No need to nitrate.

I'm with Hawg.....curling papers are cheap, very durable and burn up well with no additional help.

Curling papers work real well and so do tea bags (Hawg).
Coffee filters make a good burley cart but don't burn off/away so well.

Mostly I use hemp cig paper. Have put some stump remover on some - but just once. No big - it's quite unnecessary.

Yep, I used more tea bags than anything else.

I've dabbled with making paper cartridges with some success. It is a labor of love and probably something I'll do more of this winter when the outdoor ranges are frozen out and buried under thick layers of hardened snow pack.

Otherwise, I would do as others have suggested and carry a small flask, bullets and a capper into the field.

I find making paper cartridges tedious and boring.

 

[Ugly Sauce]

I find my fumble-fingers get in the way.

 

[armoredman]

I got the kit today, a day early, good job USPS. It looks easy enough. I will try it out this weekend.

you should all try making "skin cartridges" if you think you can. It's not as hard as everyone thinks...

I do both, carry a flask, bullets and capper, but then have a tin of about 20 cartridges for when the wolf pack is really closing in. !!!
